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 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 you’re bound to answer
When I propose, anything goes
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes
And good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
‘Cause 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 you’re bound to answer
When I propose, anything goes
May I say before this record spins to a close
I want you to know anything goes
Cole Porter
Ha...I’m not THAT old!!! But do appreciate Cole Porter.
What a fantastically prescient song writer Cole Porter was!
