Cole Porter - Anything Goes lyrics
rate meTimes have changed, <br />
And we've often rewound the clock, <br />
Since the Puritans got a shock, <br />
When they landed on Plymouth Rock. <br />
If today, <br />
Any shock they should try to stem, <br />
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, <br />
Plymouth Rock would land on them. <br />
In olden days a glimpse of stocking <br />
Was looked on as something shocking, <br />
But now, God knows, <br />
Anything Goes. <br />
Good authors too who once knew better words, <br />
Now only use four letter words <br />
Writing prose, Anything Goes. <br />
The world has gone mad today <br />
And good's bad today, <br />
And black's white today, <br />
And day's night today, <br />

If driving fast cars you like, <br />
If low bars you like, <br />
If old hymns you like, <br />
If bare limbs you like, <br />
If Mae West you like <br />
Or me undressed you like, <br />
Why, nobody will oppose! <br />
When every night, <br />
The set that's smart <br />
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios, <br />
Anything Goes. <br />
The world has gone mad today <br />
And good's bad today, <br />
And black's white today, <br />
And day's night today, <br />
When most guys today <br />
That women prize today <br />
Are just silly gigolos <br />
And though I'm not a great romancer <br />
I know that I'm bound to answer <br />
When you propose, <br />
Anything goes <br />
