Anything Goes 1934 Cole Porter

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 23 Jul 2003

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.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking,
now heaven knows, Anything Goes.
Good authors too
who once knew better words
now only use fourletter words;
writing prose, anything goes.
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;
So though I'm not a great romancer
I know that you're bound to answer
when I propose, Anything Goes.
