☆ A N Y T H I N G – G O E S (The X Factor Live Performance) – Tate Stevens

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 would 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 4 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 gigilo’s.
And though Im not a great romancer, I know that I’m
Bound to answer when you propose,
Anything Goes.

When Grand-ma-ma, who’s age is 80 in nightclubs is
Getting matey with gigolo’s,
Anything Goes.
When mother packs and leaves poor father
Bcause they decide they’d rather be tennis pro’s,
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 studio’s,
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 I’m
Bound to answer when you propose,
Anything Goes.

If saying your 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 will oppose.
And though I’m not a great romancer,
I know that I’m bound to answer when you propose,
Anything Goes!

Controversial verse:
If driving fast cars you like,
Or low bars you like,
Or bare limbs you like,
Or Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like, to molest tonight,
Nobody will oppose!
When every night the set that’s smart is
Indulging in nudist parties, just goes to show,
Anything goes!
