Ella Fitzgerald - Anything Goes

ANYTHING GOES (written by Cole Porter in 1934, recorded by Ella Fitzgerald for her album «Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Song Book», 1956) 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, 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 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 I'm bound to answer When you propose - 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 I'm bound to answer When you propose - Anything goes, Anything goes.
