Harmony:
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.

Harmony with the NYADA Hopefuls:
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.

Harmony (NYADA Hopefuls):
Anything you can be, I can be greater
Sooner or later, I'm greater than you (No, you're not)
Yes, I am (No, you're not)
Yes, I am (No, you're Not!)
Yes, I am (No, you're not)
Yes, I am! (No, you're not!)

NYADA Hopefuls:
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
Any note you can hold
I can hold longer.

Harmony:
I can hold any note
Longer than you.

NYADA Hopefuls (Harmony):
No, you can't (Yes, I can)
No, you can't (Yes, I can)
No, you can't (Yes, I can)

Harmony:
Yes, I...

NYADA Hopefuls:
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.

Harmony (NYADA Hopefuls):
Yes! (No!)
I (You!)
Can!... (Can't)

NYADA Hopefuls:
Anything goes!
