Testo Anything Goes Ella Fitzgerald
Times have changed
And weâve often rewound the clock
Since the puritans got a shock
When they landed on plymouth rock.
If today, any shock they should try to stem,
âstead of landing on plymouth rock,
Plymouth rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything
Goes
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing
Prose
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And goodâs bad today
And blackâs white today
And
Dayâs night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
So though iâm
Not a great romancer
I know that youâre bound to answer
When I propose, anything goes

Times have changed,
And weâve ofter rewound the clock
Since the puritans got a shock
When they landed on plymouth rock
If today any shock they might try to stem
âstead of landing of plymouth rock
Plymouth rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now God knows
Anything goes
Good authors to
Who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose
Anyhting goes
If driving fast cars you like
If low bars you like
If old hymns you like
If bare limbs you like
If mae west you like
Or me undressed you like
Why nobody will oppose
When every night
The set thats smart
Is intruding on nudist parties
In studios
Anything goes
When mrs. ned mcclean God bless her
Can get russian reds to yes her
Than I suppose
Anything goes
When rockafeller still can hoard
Enough money to let max gordon
Produce his shows
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And goodâs bad today
And blackâs white today
And days night today
And that gent today
You gave a cent today
Once owned several chateaus
When folks
Who still can ride in jitneyâs
Find out vanderbilts and whitneyâs
Lack baby cloâes
Anything goes
When sam goldwyn
Can with great conviction
Instruct anna sten in diction
Than anna shows
Anything goes
When you hear that
Lady mendl standing up
Now turns a handspring landing up-
On her toes
Anything goes
Just think of those shocks youâve got
And those knocks youâve got
And those blues youâve got
>from those news youâve got
And those pains youâve got
(if any brains youâve got)
>from those little radios
So mrs. r.
With all her trimminâs
Can broacast a bed from simmonâs
Cause franklin knows
Anything goes
