[00:00.00]Begin the Beguine - Artie Shaw
[00:06.29]Written by：Cole Porter
[00:12.58]Times have changed
[00:14.72]
[00:15.78]And we've often rewound the clock
[00:17.75]
[00:18.92]Since the puritans got a shock
[00:20.86]
[00:21.94]When they landed on Plymouth rock
[00:23.84]
[00:25.00]If today
[00:26.78]
[00:28.08]Any shock they should try to stem
[00:30.25]
[00:31.29]'Stead of landing on Plymouth rock
[00:33.06]
[00:33.56]Plymouth rock would land on them
[00:35.63]
[00:36.57]In olden days a glimpse of stocking
[00:40.13]Was looked on as something shocking
[00:42.10]But now god knows
[00:43.53]
[00:45.22]Anything goes
[00:46.90]
[00:48.86]Good authors too who once knew better words
[00:52.30]Now only use four letter words
[00:54.45]Writing prose
[00:55.47]
[00:57.40]Anything goes
[00:59.03]
[01:00.00]If driving fast cars you like
[01:02.36]If low bars you like
[01:03.93]If old hymns you like
[01:05.38]If bare limbs you like
[01:06.86]If Mae west you like
[01:08.34]Or me undressed you like
[01:09.90]Why nobody will oppose
[01:11.24]
[01:12.94]When every night the set that smart is in
[01:16.51]Truding at nudist parties in
[01:18.72]Studios
[01:19.67]
[01:21.47]Anything goes
[01:23.18]
[01:25.07]When missus Ned McLean
[01:27.46]God bless her
[01:28.39]Can get Russian reds to yes her
[01:30.54]Then I suppose
[01:31.73]
[01:33.67]Anything goes
[01:35.36]
[01:37.24]When Rockefeller still
[01:39.61]Can hoard enough money to let max Gordon
[01:42.81]Produce his shows
[01:44.08]
[01:45.82]Anything goes
[01:46.99]
[01:48.41]The world has gone mad today
[01:50.78]And good's bad today
[01:52.21]And black's white today
[01:53.75]And day's night today
[01:55.21]And that gent today
[01:56.71]You gave a cent today
[01:58.10]Once had several chateaux
[02:00.27]
[02:01.39]When folks who still can ride in jitneys
[02:04.66]Find out vanderbilts and whitneys
[02:06.75]Lack baby clothes
[02:08.44]
[02:09.78]Anything goes
[02:11.55]
[02:13.23]When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
[02:16.43]Instruct Anna sten in diction
[02:18.64]Then Anna shows
[02:19.87]
[02:21.71]Anything goes
[02:22.94]
[02:25.30]When you hear that lady mendl standing up
[02:28.69]Now turns a handspring landing up
[02:31.10]On her toes
[02:31.95]
[02:33.60]Anything goes
[02:35.20]
[02:36.49]Just think of those shocks you've got
[02:38.65]And those knocks you've got
[02:40.05]And those blues you've got
[02:41.55]From that news you've got
[02:42.94]And those pains you've got
[02:44.53]If any brains you've got
[02:46.13]From those little radios
[02:47.60]
[02:49.11]So missus r with all her trimmings
[02:52.45]Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
[02:54.30]'Cause Franklin knows
[02:55.60]
[02:57.51]Anything goes
