Ella Fitzgerald
Anything Goes
Times have changed, And we've ofter rewound the clock Since the Puritans got a shock When they landed on Plymouth Rock If today any shock they might try to stem 'Stead of landing of 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 to Who once knew better words Now only use four letter words Writing prose Anyhting 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 Songtexte When every night The set thats smart Is intruding on nudist parties In studios Anything Goes When Mrs. Ned McClean god Bless her Can get Russian Reds to yes her Than I suppose
Anything Goes
When Rockafeller 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 owned several Chateaus
When folks Who still can ride in Jitney's Find out Vanderbilts and Whitney's Lack Baby Clo'es
Anything Goes
When Sam Goldwyn Can with great conviction
Instruct Anna Sten in diction Than Anna shows Anything Goes
When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up
Now turns 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 trimmin's Can broacast a bed from Simmon's
Cause Franklin knows Anything Goes
