(Cole Porter)
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 four letter words
Writing prose,
Anything goes
The world has gone mad today
And goodâs bad today
And blackâs white today
And dayâs night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
So though Iâm not a great romancer
I know that youâre bound to answer
When I propose,
Anything goes - anything goes - anything goes
Anything goes - anything goes - anything goes
Just think of those shocks youâve got
And those knocks youâve got
And those blues youâve got
From that news youâve got
And those pains youâve got
If any brains youâve got
From those little radios.
So though Iâm not a great romancer
I know that youâre bound to answer
When I propose, (when I propose)
Anything goes
Anything goes
Anything goes
