Everything Goes
Music
5

Life’s replaying at an alarming rate.

It’s swaying backwards, disarming… but isn’t that great?

Better start saying so long to all that's wrong that you hate.

Progress is turning around the other way,

Time for re-learning profound skills from yesterday.

No point to spurning what now is returning to stay.

Déjà vu is new all over again…

You're overdue, take the clue from Jehovah… and then…

(Speaks) Just look what's happening!

 

Global warming just turned back.

Ice is forming over Hackensack.

In glacial breezes Key West sneezes,

Grab those heavy clothes…

Everything Goes.

ATM's stop giving cash.

Everyone's computers crash.

Microsoft 'n Windows often

Cannot get unfroze…

Everything Goes.

If you've been romancing her by email,

Stop! Because her screen will never see mail…

Better telephone your female…

Sloppy dressing's gone bye-bye.

Dress for the theater in white tie.

Dapper peacocks trash their Rebocks,

Blue jeans decompose…

Everything Goes.

 

Tattoos start to fade away,

Smoke's no longer declasse'.

Girdled hips

Replace pierced lips.

Condos fall like dominos…

Everything Goes.

Asteroids turn back to space,

Flying saucers fall from grace.

Each X-File

Is out of style,

No ectoplasm glows.

Everything Goes.

If you're craving alien abduction,

Give it up, there's been a slight obstruction.

No more stellar reproduction…

Just one thing we really need:

Georgie W’s learned to read.

Reality checks are bouncing.

Sex?

Back in the closet I suppose!

Everything Goes. Everything Goes. Everything Goes!

 

 

Additional choruses (complete):

 

Tattoos start to fade away,

Smoke's no longer declasse'.

Girdled hips

Replace pierced lips.

Condos fall like dominos…

Everything Goes.

Asteroids turn back to space,

Flying saucers fall from grace.

Each X-File

Is out of style,

No ectoplasm glows.

Everything Goes.

If you're craving alien abduction,

Give it up, there's been a slight obstruction.

No more stellar reproduction…

Airplanes dropping from the sky.

Jumbo jets no longer fly.

It you travel, you will have

A long long time to doze…

Everything goes.

 

Minstrel Shows are back on stage.

Ethnic gags are all the rage.

With Pat and Mike folks, jap and kike jokes,

Racial humor flows,

Everything Goes.

Equal rights are down the hole.

Old Boy Network's in control.

No more choices. Hush those voices,

When the Big Boss crows.

Everything Goes.

If you are a woman out there working,

Don't you think your kitchen chores you're shirking?

Get your incubator perking.

No abortion or birth control,

Lose your body and save your soul.

Please disparage same-sex marriage.

Homophobia grows…

Everything Goes.

 

Fascist Europe's back again.

No more peace and no more Zen.

Every border has disorder,

Goose-step on your toes.

Everything Goes.

No more manmade plagues to fear,

Whooping cough's come back, my dear.

Medicine can't save your skin…

So better wipe your nose.

Everything Goes.

If you've been expecting a Messiah,

You will find there isn't one for hire.

Revelation threats expire…

Just one thing to celebrate:

Willie Clinton's celibate.

Reality checks are bouncing.

Sex?

Back in the closet I suppose.

Everything Goes. Everything Goes. Everything Goes!
