Anything Goes lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking

Was looked on as something shocking

But now God knows, anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words

Now only use four-letter words

Writing prose

Anything goes

The world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And day's night today

When most guys today that women prize today

Are just silly gigolos

And though I'm not a great romancer

I know that I'm bound to answer when you propose

Anything goes

Well, when grand mama, whose age is eighty

In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos

Anything goes

When mothers pack and leave poor father

Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros

Anything goes

Just think of those shocks you've got

And those knocks you've got

From those boos you've got

From those moves you've got

And those pains you've got

If any brains you've got

From those little radios

When every night

The set that's smart

Is intruding in nudist parties in studios

Anything goes

Well, the world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And day's night today

And that gent today

You gave a cent today

Once had several chateaux

And though I'm not a great romancer

I know that I'm bound to answer when you propose

Oh, anything goes

I mean anything, man, anything goes
