Times have changed,
And we’ve often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got the 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!

1930 Buick 60 Dual Cowl Phaeton
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night, the set that’s smart
Is intruding at nudist parties
In studios – Anything goes!
When Mrs. Ned Mclean, God bless her
Can get Russian reds to ‘yes’ her
Then I suppose – Anything goes!
When Rockefeller still can hoard
Enough money to let Max Gordon
Produce his shows – Anything goes!
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 Chateauxs.
When folks who still can ride in Jitneys
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys
Lack baby clothes – Anything goes!

Anna Sten
When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
Then Anna shows – Anything goes!
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now does a handspring landing up
On her toes – Anything goes!
Just think of those shocks you’ve got,
And those knocks you’ve got,
And those blues you’ve got,
From those news you’ve got,
And those pains you’ve got
(If any brains you’ve got)
From those little radios.
So Mrs. R. with all her trimmin’s
Can broadcast a-bed from Simmon’s
Cause Franklin knows – Anything goes!
