Anything Goes

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking.
Now heaven knows, anything goes.

Good authors too who once knew better words,
now only use fourletter 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.

So though I'm not a great romancer,
I know that you're bound to answer
when I propose, anything goes.

May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know anything goes.
