2011 Broadway Cast of Anything Goes
Anything Goes
[RENO]
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
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes
[Dance interlude.]

When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is 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 every night, the set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios
Anything goes

[Dance interlude.]

[SAILORS & PASSENGERS]
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
[RENO & MOON]
They think he's gangster number one
So they've made him their favorite son
And that goes to show
Anything goes

[RENO]
If saying your prayers you like
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like
If backstairs you like
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like
Why, nobody will oppose

[SAILORS & PASSENGERS]
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
When I propose
Anything goes
Anything
Anything
Anything

[RENO]
Anything goes
