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.
時代不一樣囉
讓我們倒轉時鐘
回到當年清教徒登上普利茅斯岩
遙想他們是如此的驚訝
要是是在今天
可能要等到
普利茅斯岩降落在他們身上
才會嚇到他們
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.
在過去的日子裡
長統襪總是引人注目
但是現在天曉得
凡事皆可
大文豪曾經要有深厚的文學底子
現在只要四個字就能寫篇文章
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
世界已經瘋囉
好的變成壞的
黑的變成白的
白天變成晚上
最受女人們喜愛的男人
只不過是些蠢蛋
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時
我一定會回應
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.
那個八十歲的老奶奶
來到夜總會和小伙子打情賣俏
凡事皆可
媽媽們收拾行李離開沒出息的爸爸
只因為她們要成為職業網球選手
凡事皆可
如果你愛開快車
如果你愛翻單槓
如果你愛老派的讚美詩
如果你愛裸露四肢
如果你愛性感女神梅蕙絲
或是你想我將全身衣物脫下
有何不可沒人會反對
每天晚上那些聰明人闖入工作室
一起加入裸體主義的派對
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
世界已經瘋囉
好的變成壞的
黑的變成白的
白天變成晚上
最受女人們喜愛的男人
只不過是些蠢蛋
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時
我一定會回應
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
如果你愛祈禱
如果你愛西洋梨
如果你愛老式椅
如果你愛屋後樓梯
如果你愛談戀愛
如果你愛和小熊一起
有何不可沒人會反對
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
但我知道有人求婚時
我一定會回應
凡事皆可
凡事皆可
Anything Goes(凡事皆可)
