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.
