Anything Goes (Oldies)

-6b 5 4
Times have changed,

4 4 4 4 4 4 -4 5
And we’ve of-ten re-wound the clock,

4 4 -4 4 4 -4 5 -5b
Since the Pu-ri-tans got a shock,

5 5 6 -5b 5 6 -6b -6
When they land-ed on Ply-mouth Rock.

-6b 5 4
If to-day,

4 4 4 4 4 -4 5 -5b
A-ny shock they should try to stem,

5 -5b 6 -5b 5 -6b -6 7
‘Stead of land-ing on Ply-mouth Rock,

-6 -6b -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Ply-mouth Rock would land on them.

REFRAIN

5 5 -5b 4 5 -5b 5 -5b 5
In old-en days a glimpse of stock-ing

4 5 -5b 4 5 -5b -6b -5b
Was looked on as some-thing shock-ing,

-6b -6 7 6
Now heav-en knows,

-6b -6b -6b -6b
A-ny-thing Goes.

5 5 -5b 4 5 -5b 5 -5b 5 4
Good au-thors too who once knew bet-ter words,

5 -5b 4 5 -5b -6b -5b -6b
Now on-ly use four let-ter words

-6 7 -6 -6b -6b -6b -6b
Writ-ing prose, An-y-thing Goes.

6 6 6 6 6 6 6
The world has gone mad to-day

6 6 -6b 6 6
And good’s bad to-day,

6 6 -6 6 6
And black’s white to-day,

6 6 -6 6 6
And day’s night to-day,

6 6 7 6 6
When most guys to-day

-5b 6 -5b 6 4 4
That wo-men prize to-day

4 4 4 4 4 4 5
Are just sil-ly gig-o-los

5 5 -5b 4 5 -5b 5 -5b 5
So though I’m not a great ro-manc-er

4 5 -5b 4 5 -5b -6b -5b
I know that I’m bound to an-swer

-6b 6 7 -6
When you pro-pose,

7 -6 -6b -6b
An-y-thing goes
