ANYTHING GOES
Times have changed
And we’ve 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
‘Stead of landing on 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 too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words, writing prose
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today,
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And day’s night today
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
So though I’m not a great romancer
I know that I’m bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
When grandmamas whose age is eighty
In night clubs are getting matey with gigolos
Anything goes
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they’d rather be tennis pros
Anything 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 ev’ry night, the set that’s smart is
Intruding in nudist parties in studios
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And good’s bad today
And black’s white today
And day’s night today
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
So though I’m not a great romancer
I know that I’m bound to answer
When you propose
Anything goes
If saying your pray’rs 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 will oppose
So though I’m not a great romancer
I know that I’m bound to answer
When you propose
Anything Goes
Anything Goes
凡事皆可
時代不一樣囉
讓我們倒轉時鐘
回到當年清教徒登上普利茅斯岩
遙想他們是如此的驚訝
要是是在今天
可能要等到普利茅斯岩降落在他們身上
才會嚇到他們
在過去的日子裡
長統襪總是引人側目
但現在 天曉得
凡事皆可
大文豪曾經要有深厚的文學底子
現在只要四個字就能寫篇文章
凡事皆可
世界已經瘋囉
好的變成壞的,黑的變成白的,白天變成晚上
最受女人們喜愛的男人,只不過是些蠢蛋
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時,我一定會回應
凡事皆可
那個八十歲的老奶奶
來到夜總會和小夥子打情罵俏
凡事皆可
媽媽們收拾行囊離開沒出息的爸爸
只因為她們要成為職業網球選手
凡事皆可
如果你愛開快車
如果你愛翻單槓
如果你愛老派的讚美詩
如果你愛裸露四肢
如果你愛性感女神梅蕙絲
或是,如果你想要我將全身衣物褪下
有何不可?沒人會反對!
每天晚上,那些聰明人闖入工作室
一同加入裸體主義的派對
凡事皆可
世界已經瘋囉
好的變成壞的,黑的變成白的,白天變成晚上
最受女人們喜愛的男人,只不過是些蠢蛋
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時,我一定會回應
凡事皆可
如果你愛禱告
如果你愛西洋梨
如果你愛老式椅
如果你愛屋後樓梯
如果你愛談戀愛
如果你愛和小熊在一起
有何不可?沒人會反對!
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時,我一定會回應
凡事皆可
凡事皆可
