In olden days a glimpse of stocking
A5    E5          B5      A5 
Was looked on as something shocking --
     A5    A5   D5   D5  F5 B5      F5  A5
Now, Hea - ven knows,           an - y - thing goes.

Good authors, too, who once knew better words
E5      B5      A5
Now only use four-letter words
 A5    A5   D5   D5  F5 B5      F5  A5    G#5
Writ - ing prose,           an - y - thing goes.

The world has gone mad today, and good's bad today
            C#5                   G#5
And black's white today and day's night today
         C#5                  F#5
And most guys today that women prize today
          B5  B5       E5
Are just silly  gi - gi - los.

So though I'm not a great ro - man - cer
    E5             B5      A5
I  know that you're bound to ans - wer when  
A5  A5    D5  D5  F5  B5      F5  A5
