Bbm7 F7
Times have changed
Bbm7
And we've often rewound the clock
B7
Since the Puritans got a shock
Cm7b5 F7
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.

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 Missus Ned McLean (God bless her)
Bb Gm
Can get Russian reds to "yes" her,
Bb Eb
Then I suppose
Bb
Anything goes.

Bb
When Rockefeller still can hoard en-
Bb Gm
Ough money to let Max Gordon
Bb Eb
Produce his shows,
Bb A7
Anything goes.

D Em6
The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today,
Dm7 Em6
And black's white today, and day's night today,
Dm7 Dm7
And that gent today, you gave a cent today
Dm7 F7
Once had several chateaux.

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 F7add#5 Bb
Anything goes.
