Anything Goes - Cole Porter

The song 'Anything Goes' by Cole Porter. As heard on Galaxy News Radio!

LYRICS:

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,
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

Good authors too,
Who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words writing prose.
Anything goes.

If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like,
Or me undressed you like,
Why nobody will oppose!

When every night,
The set that's smart,
Is intruding at nudist parties,
In studios.
Anything goes.

When Mrs. Ned McLean (God bless her!),
Can get Russian Reds to 'yes' her,
Than I suppose,
Anything goes.

When Rockefeller still can hoard,
Enough money to let Max Gordon,
Produce his shows,
Anything goes.

The world has gone mad today,
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And days night today,
And that gent today,
You gave a cent today,
Once had several châteaux.

When folks who still can ride in jitneys,
Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys,
Lack baby clothes.
Anything goes.

When Sam Goldwyn,
Can with great conviction,
Instruct Anna Sten in diction,
Then Anna shows,
Anything goes.

When you hear that,
Lady Mendl standing up,
Now does a handspring landing up,
On her toes!
Anything goes.

Just think of those shocks you've got,
And those knocks you've got,
And those blues you've got,
From those news you've got,
And those pains you've got,
(If any brains you've got!),
From those little radios.

So Mrs. R,
With all her trimmings,
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons,
Cause Franklin knows,
Anything goes!

[MrMutsy]

our generation is ruind no one has a taste like this anymore

[WOOT1234567891]

I would not say our generation is ruined, i would never judge anybody by what type of music that person likes, but, this is definetly 1000000000 times better than any music produced in our generation.

@mstorey622 well it might have to do with thr fact that the "singer" in this version is actually the composer?

[Gamma287]

@Petal0oza I just realized my comment on lunaray was terrible, grammar-wise... 

[Gamma287]

@Petal0oza I agree with you as well, but I was referring to my self as "having an antiquated mindset," not the song. Cole Porter is one of, if not the absolute, the best Broadway composers to ever come out of the United States!

[Petal0oza]

@Gamma287 I totally agree! :D But I wouldn't call it antiquated but classic... :D

[Gamma287]

@ladylunaray You do I know music, my dear? Heck, I'm a 90s born teenager, but I believe myself to be, erm, culturally antiquated.

[ladylunaray]

@Gamma287 So you hate on me then? I'm newer then the 90s! WHy do you say you hate on everything newer then that like its something to be proud of??? No one likes a hater, hater.

[Gamma287]

@ladylunaray Meh. I hate on everything newer than '90. You see, I hate everything equally...

[ladylunaray]

@Gamma287 Jerk. There version was as good as this one so there is no need to hate.

[ladylunaray]

@MrMutsy Entirely untrue. I am 13 years old. I love this song! Why do you assume i don't? :P

[TheFacelessActivist]

I love this song because everything in it is so true.

No xenophobia, no social stigmas, and no pretentious assholes besides the ones whining about people not listening to this song more.
