| Here's a video of Bryan Batt singing an update "Anything Goes" at a benefit, with brilliant lyrics by Joe Keenan. The lyrics are below but it's well worth watching! ANYTHING GOES (2017 Version) Times have changed. Porter’s ditty was once risqué, But if Porter could see today, And decorum’s complete decay, He would say, “Though the thirties were hot as hell, Everything that went then still goes . . . And a whole lot else as well!” When gays can wed and jaws aren’t dropping When Barney and Ben go shopping For baby clothes, Anything goes! When dames as dim as Kim Kardashian Triumph by acting trashy in Tawdry shows, Anything goes! The smut you can get today On the net today, Straight or gay today, And all day today, ‘Cause burlesque today Is on your desk today, Where nobody can oppose. When girls of ten are adolescing And proving the fact by dressing Like tiny ho’s, Anything goes! When Grandma’s face is pulled so tightly She looks like a Keira Knightley Whose eyes won’t close, Anything goes! When authors feel bereft and bitter ‘Cause Twitter will soon obliterate English prose, Anything goes. We’re tethered like drones today To our phones today, As we tap today At each app today, And friends text to us While standing next to us With their screens against their nose When Cary Grants and Spencer Tracys Have turned into Kevin Spacys And Russell Crowes Anything goes When stars can chose to keep their gender Or mark it “Return to Sender” Then Caitlyn shows Anything goes. When Facebook has us all believing Each insight that we’re perceiving We must disclose, Anything goes. All foods that are sweet today We can’t eat today, And no wheat today, Or red meat today, For a treat today I ate a beet today, But my derriere still grows! When men of god who preach with thunder Are looking for fun with underage Romeos, Anything goes! When buying pot takes less bravado Than buying an avocado At Trader Joe’s, Anything goes! When football stars of every color Are praying that Robert Mueller Will end their woes, Anything goes! The phonies in charge today They live large today, And book jets today For their pets today, And then fret today About the debt today That Puerto Rico owes! When Harvey Weinstein’s not refuting That women have seen him shooting Much more than shows, Anything goes! Anything goes! |
