Anything Goes

[Intro]
[A] Times have changed,  [A] And we've often rewound the clock.  [Bb] Since the Puritans got a shock,  [E7] When they landed on Plymouth Rock.

[Verse 1]
[A] In olden days, a [E7] glimpse of stocking
Was [A] looked on as something [A7] shocking
But now, God [D] knows; Anything [A] goes [E7] 
 
[Verse 2]
[A] Good authors, too, who [E7] once knew better words
[A] Now only use four-[A7]-letter words
Writing [D] prose; Anything [A] goes [G#7] 
 
[Chorus 1]
If driving fast [C#m7] cars you like
If low [G#7] bars you like
If old [C#m7] hymns you like
If bare [G#7] limbs you like
If Mae [C#m7] West you like
Or me [F#7] undressed you like
Why, no-[Bm]-body will [E7] oppose
 
[Verse 3]
When [A] ev'ry night the [E7] set that's smart is [A] intruding at nudist [A7] parties in [D] studios; Anything [A] goes. [E7] 
 
[Verse 4]

[Verse 5]
When Rockefeller [E7] still can hoard en-[A]-ough money to let Max [A7] Gordon produce his [D] shows; Anything [A] goes. [G#7] 
 
[Chorus 2]
The world has gone C#m7]mad today
And good's [G#7] bad today
And black's [C#m7] white today
And day's [G#7] night today
And that [C#m7] gent today
You gave a [F#7] cent today
Once had [Bm] several [E7] chateaus
 
[Verse 6]
When [A] folks who still can [E7] ride in jitneys find [A] out Vanderbilts and [A7] Whitneys lack baby [D] clothes; Anything [A] goes. [E7]
