Introdução: A9 A7 D6 Dm6 Fdim Bm5-/7 E7/13-       
 
  A    E7    Cdim       A6 
In olden days a glimpse of stocking 
A   E7          Bm5-/7      A  
Was looked on as something shocking 
     A9    A7   D6   Dm6  Fdim Bm7/5-      Fdim  A 
Now, Heaven knows,                 anything goes 
       A      E7    Cdim      A6    A 
Good authors, too, who once knew better words 
E7   Bm5-/7      A 
Now only use four letter words 
 A9 A7   D6 Dm6 Fdim Bm5-/7     Fdim  A G#7 
Writing prose,    anything goes 
Bridge 
            C#7           G#7 
The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today 
       C#m7              G#7 
And black's white today and day's night today 
    C#m7             F#7 
And most guys today that women prize today 
          Bm7  Bm5-/7       E7 
Are just silly  gigilos. 
      A       E7    Cdim       A6  A 
So though I'm not a great romancer 
    E7             Bm5-/7      A 
I  know that you're bound to answer when   
A9  A7 D6  Dm6 Fdim Bm5-/7  Fdim A     
I  propose       anything goes
