Anything goes

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
