Anything Goes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Heaven knows
Well, anything goes
Jimmy Cut-Throat, he lives in Venice
All the young girls he would menace
Heaven knows
Anything goes
Heroin, and all the rest
They control these girls, control them best
Heaven knows
Anything goes
If low bars you like and cheap whores you like
If it’s sin you like and bare limbs you like
And Mae West, undressed you like
Then no one will oppose
If those girls get out of line
Jimmy Cut-Throat is a swine
Heaven knows
Well, anything goes
Jimmy’s not a great romancer
As your pimp you’re bound to answer
Anything goes
That the client does propose
World’s gone mad today, bad today
Good’s bad today, black’s white today
And day’s night today, when most guys today
Are pimps and gigolos
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as, something shocking
Your pimp knows
That you’ll do just what he does propose
Well your pimp knows
You’ll do what he does propose
