Song lyrics
[Lady Gaga:]
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes
[Tony Bennett:]
Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words writing prose
Anything goes
[Tony Bennett:]
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
[Lady Gaga:]
And day's night today
And black's white today
[Tony Bennett:]
And most guys today
That women prize today
[Lady Gaga:]
Are just silly gigolos
[Lady Gaga:]
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know you're bound to answer
[Both:]
When we propose
Anything goes
[Tony Bennett:]
Go!
[Lady Gaga:]
Go!
The world has gone mad today
[Tony Bennett:]
And good's bad today
[Lady Gaga:]
And day's night today
[Tony Bennett:]
And black's white today
[Lady Gaga:]
And most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
[Both:]
And though we're not such great romancers
We know that you're bound to answer
When we propose
Anything goes
[Tony Bennett:]
Anything goes
[Lady Gaga:]
Anything goes
[Both:]
Anything goes
