Anything Goes

Anything Goes - Eileen Rodgers/Anything Goes Ensemble (1962)/Anything Goes Orchestra (1962)

Written by：Cole Porter

Times have changed

And we've often rewound the clock

Since the puritans got a shock

When they landed on plymouth rock

But today

Any shock they would 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

But now god knows

Anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words

Now only use four-letter 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

And most guys today

That women prize today

Silly gigolos

So though I'm not a great romancer

I know that you're bound to answer

When I propose

Anything goes

When grandmama who's age is eighty

In night clubs' is getting matey with gigolos

Anything goes

When mothers' pack and leave poor father

Because they've desided they'd rather be tennis Pros

Anything goes

If driving fast cars you like

If low bars you like

If bare limbs you like

If mae west you like

Or me undressed you like

To molest tonight

Nobody will oppose

When every night the set thats smart is in

Truding at nudist parties in

Studios

Anything goes

Just think of what shots you've got

And what knots you've got

And what booze you've got

With that news you've got

And what names you've got

If any brains you've got

From those little radios

They think he's gangster number one

So they've made him the favorite sub

And that goes to show

Anything goes

Anything anything anything

Goes
