How did that get by the censors at that time?

‘How did that get by the censors at that time?’

Actually it didn’t. It was from a Broadway Musical, and generally wasn’t allowed on the radio. Listeners heard it on vinyl records. One thing though, while the subject was unsavory, the language was elegant, as you would expect from Porter, with no obscenities at all.
