Anything Goes-Ambrosian Chorus / London Symphony Orch./London Symphony Orchestra

[00:00]Anything Goes-Cole porter [00:02]Times have changed [00:06]And we've often rewound the clock [00:09]Since the Puritans got a shock [00:12]When they landed on Plymouth Rock. [00:16]If today [00:19]Any shock they should try to stem [00:22]'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock, [00:26]Plymouth Rock would land on them. [00:29]In olden days, a glimpse of stocking [00:32]Was looked on as something shocking. [00:34]But now, God knows, Anything goes. [00:41]Good authors too who once knew better words [00:44]Now only use four-letter words [00:47]Writing prose. [00:50]Anything goes. [00:52]If driving fast cars you like, [00:55]If low bars you like, [00:56]If old hymns you like, [00:58]If bare limbs you like, [00:59]If Mae West you like, [01:01]Or me undressed you like, [01:02]Why, nobody will oppose. [01:05]When ev'ry night the set that's smart is in- [01:09]Truding in nudist parties in [01:11]Studios. [01:14]Anything goes. [01:18] [02:40]When Missus Ned McLean (God bless her) [02:42]Can get Russian reds to "yes" her, [02:45]Then I suppose [02:47]Anything goes. [02:50]When Rockefeller still can hoard enough money to let Max Gordon [02:54]Produce his shows, [02:56]Anything goes. [03:01]The world has gone mad today [03:03]And good's bad today, [03:04]And black's white today, [03:06]And day's night today, [03:07]And that gent today [03:08]You gave a cent today [03:10]Once had several chateaux. [03:12]When folks who still can ride in jitneys [03:15]Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys [03:17]Lack baby clo'es, [03:20]Anything goes. [03:22] [04:25]If Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction [04:28]Instruct Anna Sten in diction, [04:30]Then Anna shows [04:33]Anything goes. [04:36]When you hear that Lady Mendl standing up [04:39]Now turns a handspring landing up- [04:41]On her toes, [04:43]Anything goes. [04:46]Just think of those shocks you've got [04:48]And those knocks you've got [04:49]And those blues you've got [04:50]From that news you've got [04:52]And those pains you've got(If any brains you've got) [04:54]From those little radios. [04:57]So Missus R., with all her trimmin's, [05:00]Can broadcast a bed from Simmons [05:02]'Cause Franklin knows [05:05]Anything goes.
