Begin the Beguine - Artie Shaw[00:00:00]
Written by:Cole Porter[00:00:05]
Times have changed[00:00:10]
And we've often rewound the clock[00:00:13]
Since the puritans got a shock[00:00:16]
When they landed on Plymouth rock[00:00:19]
If today[00:00:23]
Any shock they should try to stem[00:00:26]
'Stead of landing on Plymouth rock[00:00:29]
Plymouth rock would land on them[00:00:31]
In olden days a glimpse of stocking[00:00:34]
Was looked on as something shocking[00:00:38]
But now god knows[00:00:40]
Anything goes[00:00:43]
Good authors too who once knew better words[00:00:46]
Now only use four letter words[00:00:50]
Writing prose[00:00:52]
Anything goes[00:00:55]
If driving fast cars you like[00:00:58]
If low bars you like[00:01:00]
If old hymns you like[00:01:01]
If bare limbs you like[00:01:03]
If Mae west you like[00:01:04]
Or me undressed you like[00:01:06]
Why nobody will oppose[00:01:07]
When every night the set that smart is in[00:01:10]
Truding at nudist parties in[00:01:14]
Studios[00:01:16]
Anything goes[00:01:19]
When missus Ned McLean[00:01:23]
God bless her[00:01:25]
Can get Russian reds to yes her[00:01:26]
Then I suppose[00:01:28]
Anything goes[00:01:31]
When Rockefeller still[00:01:35]
Can hoard enough money to let max Gordon[00:01:37]
Produce his shows[00:01:40]
Anything goes[00:01:43]
The world has gone mad today[00:01:46]
And good's bad today[00:01:48]
And black's white today[00:01:50]
And day's night today[00:01:51]
And that gent today[00:01:53]
You gave a cent today[00:01:54]
Once had several chateaux[00:01:56]
When folks who still can ride in jitneys[00:01:59]
Find out vanderbilts and whitneys[00:02:02]
Lack baby clothes[00:02:04]
Anything goes[00:02:07]
When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction[00:02:11]
Instruct Anna sten in diction[00:02:14]
Then Anna shows[00:02:16]
Anything goes[00:02:19]
When you hear that lady mendl standing up[00:02:23]
Now turns a handspring landing up[00:02:26]
On her toes[00:02:29]
Anything goes[00:02:31]
Just think of those shocks you've got[00:02:34]
And those knocks you've got[00:02:36]
And those blues you've got[00:02:38]
From that news you've got[00:02:39]
And those pains you've got[00:02:40]
If any brains you've got[00:02:42]
From those little radios[00:02:44]
So missus r with all her trimmings[00:02:47]
Can broadcast a bed from Simmons[00:02:50]
'Cause Franklin knows[00:02:52]
Anything goes[00:02:55]
