Anything Goes - Count Basie, Joe Williams

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 goods bad today

And blacks white today

And days night today

When most guys today

That women prize today are just silly gigolos

And I no I’m not a great romancer

But to say I’m gonna answer

When I propose

Honey anything goes

The world has gone mad today

And goods bad today

And blacks white today

And days night today

When most guys today

That women prize today are just silly gigolos

Though I’m not a great romancer,

I know I’m gonna answer,

When you propose,

Anything goes

Anything goes

Anything goes
