Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today,
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
时代不一样囉
让我们倒转时钟
回到当年清教徒登上普利茅斯岩
遥想他们是如此的惊讶
要是是在今天
可能要等到
普利茅斯岩降落在他们身上
才会吓到他们
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words Writing prose,
Anything Goes.
在过去的日子里
长统袜总是引人注目
但是现在天晓得
凡事皆可
大文豪曾经要有深厚的文学底子
现在只要四个字就能写篇文章
凡事皆可
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
世界已经疯囉
好的变成坏的
黑的变成白的
白天变成晚上
最受女人们喜爱的男人
只不过是些蠢蛋
虽然我不会写什么动人的爱情故事
但我知道有人求婚时
我一定会回应
凡事皆可
When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes.
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything Goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night, The set that's smart is
Intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything Goes.
那个八十岁的老奶奶
来到夜总会和小伙子打情卖俏
凡事皆可
妈妈们收拾行李离开没出息的爸爸
只因为她们要成为职业网球选手
凡事皆可
如果你爱开快车
如果你爱翻单杠
如果你爱老派的赞美诗
如果你爱裸露四肢
如果你爱性感女神梅蕙丝
或是你想我将全身衣物脱下
有何不可 没人会反对
每天晚上 那些聪明人闯入工作室
一起加入裸体主义的派对
凡事皆可
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
世界已经疯囉
好的变成坏的
黑的变成白的
白天变成晚上
最受女人们喜爱的男人
只不过是些蠢蛋
虽然我不会写什么动人的爱情故事
但我知道有人求婚时
我一定会回应
凡事皆可
If saying your prayer you like
If green pear you like
If old chairs you like
If back stairs you like
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like
Why, nobody will oppose!
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
Anything goes
如果你爱祈祷
如果你爱西洋梨
如果你爱老式椅
如果你爱屋后楼梯
如果你爱谈恋爱
如果你爱和小熊一起
有何不可 没人会反对
虽然我不会写什么动人的爱情故事
但我知道有人求婚时
我一定会回应
凡事皆可
凡事皆可
