Bb7 Ebm If today, any shock they should try to stem Cm7b5 Bbm 'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, C7 F7 Plymouth Rock would land on them. Bb In olden days, a glimpse of stocking Bb Gm Was looked on as something shocking. Bb Eb But now, God knows, Bb Anything goes. Bb Good authors too who once knew better words Bb Gm Now only use four-letter words Bb Eb writing prose. Bb A7 Anything goes. D Em6 If driving fast cars you like, if low bars you like, Dm7 Em6 If old hymns you like, if bare limbs you like, Dm7 Dm7 If Mae West you like, or me undressed you like, Dm7 F7 Why, nobody will oppose. Bb When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in- Bb Gm truding in nudist parties Bb Eb in studios. Bb Anything goes.

Bb When folks who still can ride in Jitneys Bb Gm Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys Bb Eb Lack baby clo'es, Bb Anything goes. Bb When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction Bb Gm Instruct Anna Sten in diction, Bb Eb Then Anna shows Bb Anything goes. Bb When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up Bb Gm Now does a handspring landing up- Bb Eb On her toes, Bb A7 Anything goes. D Em6 Just think of those shocks you've got, and those knocks you've got Dm7 Em6 And those blues you've got, from those news you've got Dm7 Dm7 And those pains you've got, (If any brains you've got) Dm7 F7 From those little radios. Bb So Missus R, with all her trimmin's, Bb Gm Can broadcast a bed from Simmons Bb Eb 'Cause Franklin knows Bb Bbadd#5 Anything goes.
