Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Don’t let your petticoats dangle in the mud, my darling
And “I’ll go last”, “No, I’ll go last”, “No, I’ll go last”
I’d do anything for you, dear
Anything, for you mean ev’rything to me
I know that I’d go anywhere
For your smile, anywhere for your smile
Ev’rywhere I’d see
Would you climb a hill? Anything
Wear a daffodil? Anything
Leave me all your will? Anything
Even fight my Bill? What? Fisticuffs
I’d risk ev’rything for one kiss
Ev’rything, yes, I’d do anything
Anything? Anything for you
Now you, Oliver
I’d do anything for you, dear, anything
For you mean ev’rything to me
I know that I’d go anywhere for your smile
Anywhere for your smile, ev’rywhere I’d see
Would you lace my shoe? Anything
Paint your face bright blue? Anything
Catch a Kangaroo? Anything
Go to Timbuctoo? And back again
I’d risk ev’rything for one kiss
Ev’rything, yes I’d do anything
Anything, anything for you
Would you rob a shop? Anything
Would you risk “the drop?” Anything
Tho’ your eyes go “pop”? Anything
When you come down ‘plop?’ Hang ev’rything
We’d risk life and limb
To keep you in the swim
Yes, we’d do anything
Anything? Anything for you
