BbM7Bbm7    F7F7
Times have changed
BbM7Bbm7
And we've often rewound the clock
B7B7
Since the Puritans got a shock
Cm7b5Cm7b5            F7F7
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.

Bb7Bb7               EbmEbm
If today, any shock they should try to stem
Cm7b5Cm7b5        BbmBbm
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
     C7C7         F7F7
Plymouth Rock would land on them.

Bb majorBb
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Bb majorBb             G minorGm
Was looked on as something shocking.
  Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
But now, God knows,
     Bb majorBb
Anything goes.

Bb majorBb
Good authors too who once knew better words
Bb majorBb        G minorGm
Now only use four-letter words
Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
writing prose.
     Bb majorBb  A7A7
Anything goes.

        D MajorD           Em6Em6
If driving fast cars you like, if low bars you like,
    Dm7Dm7           Em6Em6
If old hymns you like, if bare limbs you like,
    Dm7Dm7          Dm7Dm7
If Mae West you like, or me undressed you like,
   Dm7Dm7     F7F7
Why, nobody will oppose.

   Bb majorBb
When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in-
Bb majorBb        G minorGm
truding in nudist parties
  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
in studios.
     Bb majorBb
Anything goes.
   Bb majorBb
When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
  Bb majorBb         G minorGm
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Then I suppose
     Bb majorBb
Anything goes.

   Bb majorBb
When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
   Bb majorBb        G minorGm
Ough money to let Max Gordon
  Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
Produce his shows,
     Bb majorBb  A7A7
Anything goes.

          D MajorD           Em6Em6
The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today,
      Dm7Dm7          Em6Em6
And black's white today, and day's night today,
     Dm7Dm7          Dm7Dm7
And that gent today, you gave a cent today
     Dm7Dm7     F7F7
Once had several chateaux.

   Bb majorBb
When folks who still can ride in Jitneys
   Bb majorBb         G minorGm
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Lack baby clo'es,
     Bb majorBb
Anything goes.

     Bb majorBb
When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
  Bb majorBb         G minorGm
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
Then Anna shows
     Bb majorBb
Anything goes.

     Bb majorBb
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Bb majorBb          G minorGm
Now does a handspring landing up-
Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
On her toes,
     Bb majorBb  A7A7
Anything goes.

          D MajorD              Em6Em6
Just think of those shocks you've got, and those knocks you've got
     Dm7Dm7             Em6Em6
And those blues you've got, from those news you've got
     Dm7Dm7            Dm7Dm7
And those pains you've got, (If any brains you've got)
      Dm7Dm7    F7F7
From those little radios.

  Bb majorBb
So Missus R, with all her trimmin's,
  Bb majorBb          G minorGm
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
    Bb majorBb    Eb MajorEb
'Cause Franklin knows
     Bb majorBb  F7add#5 Bb majorBb
Anything goes.
