A Glimpse Of Stocking

Frank Sinatra: Anything Goes

Cole Porter : Anything Goes

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
instead 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 you're
bound to answer
when I propose
anything goes
