When the only sound on the empty street Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet That belong to a lonesome cop I open shop
The moon so long has been gazing down On the warward ways of this wayward town My smile becomes a smirk, I go to work
Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale Love thats fresh and still unspoiled Love thats only slightly soiled Love for sale
Who will buy Who would like to sample my supply Who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise Love for sale
Let the poets pipe of love In their childish ways I know every type of love Better far than they If you want the thrill of love I have been through the mill of love Old love New love Every love but true love
Love for sale Appetizing young love for sale If you want to buy my wares follow me and climb the stairs Love for sale
My story is much too sad to be told, But practically everything Leaves me totally cold. The only exception I know is the case, When I'm out on a quiet spree, Fighting vainly the old enui And I suddenly turn and see, Your fabulous face.
I get no kick from Champagne Mere alchohol doesn't thrill me at all So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick Out of you
Some get a kick from cocain I'm sure that if I took even one sniff That would bore me terrificly too Yet I get a kick out of you
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me I get a kick though its clear to me you obviously don't Adore me
I get no kick in a plane Flying too high With some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do
You'd be so easy to love So easy to idolize all others above So worth the yearning for So swell to keep every home fire burning for
And we would be so grand at the game Carefree together that it does seem a shame That you can't see your future with me Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love
You'd be so easy to love Easy to idolize all others above So worth the yearning for So swell to keep all the home fires burning for
We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together that it does seem a shame That you can't see your future with me Cause you'd be, oh, so easy to love

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
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!
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!
When grandmama whose age is eighty In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos 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!
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
If saying your prayers you like If green pears 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!
