A E7 Cdim A6
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
A E7 Bm7-5 A
Was looked on as something shocking --
A9 A7 D6 Dm6 Fdim Bm7-5 Fdim A
Now, Hea - ven knows, an - y - thing goes.
A E7 Cdim A6 A
Good authors, too, who once knew better words
E7 Bm7-5 A
Now only use four-letter words
A9 A7 D6 Dm6 Fdim Bm7-5 Fdim A G#7
Writ - ing prose, an - y - thing goes.
Bridge:
C#7 G#7
The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today

And black's white today and day's night today
C#m7 F#7
And most guys today that women prize today
Bm7 Bm7-5 E7
Are just silly gi - gi - los.
A E7 Cdim A6 A
So though I'm not a great ro - man - cer
E7 Bm7-5 A
I know that you're bound to ans - wer when
A9 A7 D6 Dm6 Fdim Bm7-5 Fdim A
I pro - pose an - y - thing goes.
Before you click the e-mail button, I'll beat you to it -- I know I have taken liberties with the lyrics. I'm sythesizing at least three different versions here, and in so doing, I have eliminated many of the then-comtemporary references that originally contributed to the song's popularity. There are numerous variations available on the Internet, so use whichever you feel most comfortable with.
