Anything Goes / Anything You Can Do
Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them
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!
Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later, I'm greater than you
No, you're not
Yes, I am
No, you're not
Yes, I am
No, you're not!
Yes, I am, yes, I am!
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
Any note you can hold, I can hold longer
I can hold any note longer than you
No, you can't
Yes, I can
No, you can't
Yes, I can
No, you can't
Yes, I can
Yes, I...
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows...
Anything goes!
Yes! (No!) I! (You!) Can! (Can't!)
Anything goes!
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them
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!
Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later, I'm greater than you
No, you're not
Yes, I am
No, you're not
Yes, I am
No, you're not!
Yes, I am, yes, I am!
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
Any note you can hold, I can hold longer
I can hold any note longer than you
No, you can't
Yes, I can
No, you can't
Yes, I can
No, you can't
Yes, I can
Yes, I...
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows...
Anything goes!
Yes! (No!) I! (You!) Can! (Can't!)
Anything goes!
