Times have changed,
Yet they try to rewind the clock,
To when the puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock,
If today,
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them!

In days gone by a person was worth more than the ann'l profits report, now God knows, anything goes!
Good authors too who once wrote for the poor now only write for home decor in tableauxs, anything goes!

This country's gone mad today,
Here good's bad today,
Here black's white today,
Here day's night today,
Here most guys today that women prize today are just silly gigolos!
And though I a'int no great romancer I know that you're bound to answer when I propose, anything goes!


When children value equally to a corporation's priority then God knows, anything goes!
And add to that the irony of the evangelist insurgency and God knows, anything goes!

If it's dead peasants you like,
If drunk kids you like,
If old hymns you like,
If hidden limbs you like,
If Texas you like,
Or me oppressed you like, why nobody would oppose!
When ev'ry day Rick Perry's ranting about "all those baby killers" and "those homos," anything goes!


This country's gone mad today,
Here good's bad today,
Here black's white today,
Here day's night today,
Here most guys today that women prize today are just silly gigolos!

They should be gangsters number one, yet they've made them their favorite sons and that goes to show, anything goes!

If saying you're prayers you like,
If green pears you like,
If old chairs you like,
If back stairs you like,
If love affairs you like,
With young bears you like, why nobody would oppose!
And though I a'int no great romancer I know that you're bound to answer when I propose, anything goes!

Anything, anything, anything!
Anything goes!
