[00:00.00]Begin the Beguine - Artie Shaw and his Orchestra
[00:06.48]Written by：Cole Porter
[00:12.96]Times have changed
[00:15.10]
[00:16.16]And we've often rewound the clock
[00:18.13]
[00:19.30]Since the puritans got a shock
[00:21.24]
[00:22.32]When they landed on Plymouth rock
[00:24.22]
[00:25.38]If today
[00:27.16]
[00:28.46]Any shock they should try to stem
[00:30.62]
[00:31.67]'Stead of landing on Plymouth rock
[00:33.44]
[00:33.94]Plymouth rock would land on them
[00:36.01]
[00:36.95]In olden days a glimpse of stocking
[00:40.51]Was looked on as something shocking
[00:42.48]But now god knows
[00:43.91]
[00:45.60]Anything goes
[00:47.28]
[00:49.24]Good authors too who once knew better words
[00:52.68]Now only use four letter words
[00:54.83]Writing prose
[00:55.85]
[00:57.78]Anything goes
[00:59.41]
[01:00.38]If driving fast cars you like
[01:02.74]If low bars you like
[01:04.31]If old hymns you like
[01:05.76]If bare limbs you like
[01:07.24]If Mae west you like
[01:08.72]Or me undressed you like
[01:10.28]Why nobody will oppose
[01:11.61]
[01:13.32]When every night the set that smart is in
[01:16.89]Truding at nudist parties in
[01:19.10]Studios
[01:20.05]
[01:21.85]Anything goes
[01:23.56]
[01:25.45]When missus Ned McLean
[01:27.84]God bless her
[01:28.77]Can get Russian reds to yes her
[01:30.92]Then I suppose
[01:32.11]
[01:34.05]Anything goes
[01:35.74]
[01:37.62]When Rockefeller still
[01:39.99]Can hoard enough money to let max Gordon
[01:43.19]Produce his shows
[01:44.45]
[01:46.20]Anything goes
[01:47.37]
[01:48.79]The world has gone mad today
[01:51.16]And good's bad today
[01:52.59]And black's white today
[01:54.13]And day's night today
[01:55.59]And that gent today
[01:57.09]You gave a cent today
[01:58.48]Once had several chateaux
[02:00.65]
[02:01.77]When folks who still can ride in jitneys
[02:05.04]Find out vanderbilts and whitneys
[02:07.13]Lack baby clothes
[02:08.82]
[02:10.16]Anything goes
[02:11.92]
[02:13.61]When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
[02:16.81]Instruct Anna sten in diction
[02:19.02]Then Anna shows
[02:20.25]
[02:22.09]Anything goes
[02:23.31]
[02:25.68]When you hear that lady mendl standing up
[02:29.07]Now turns a handspring landing up
[02:31.48]On her toes
[02:32.33]
[02:33.98]Anything goes
[02:35.58]
[02:36.87]Just think of those shocks you've got
[02:39.03]And those knocks you've got
[02:40.43]And those blues you've got
[02:41.93]From that news you've got
[02:43.32]And those pains you've got
[02:44.91]If any brains you've got
[02:46.51]From those little radios
[02:47.98]
[02:49.49]So missus r with all her trimmings
[02:52.83]Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
[02:54.68]'Cause Franklin knows
[02:55.98]
[02:57.89]Anything goes
