[00:00.00]Begin the Beguine - Artie Shaw & His Orchestra
[00:05.38]Written by：Cole Porter
[00:10.76]Times have changed
[00:12.90]
[00:13.96]And we've often rewound the clock
[00:15.93]
[00:17.10]Since the puritans got a shock
[00:19.04]
[00:20.12]When they landed on Plymouth rock
[00:22.02]
[00:23.18]If today
[00:24.96]
[00:26.26]Any shock they should try to stem
[00:28.43]
[00:29.47]'Stead of landing on Plymouth rock
[00:31.24]
[00:31.74]Plymouth rock would land on them
[00:33.81]
[00:34.75]In olden days a glimpse of stocking
[00:38.31]Was looked on as something shocking
[00:40.28]But now god knows
[00:41.71]
[00:43.40]Anything goes
[00:45.08]
[00:47.04]Good authors too who once knew better words
[00:50.48]Now only use four letter words
[00:52.63]Writing prose
[00:53.65]
[00:55.58]Anything goes
[00:57.21]
[00:58.18]If driving fast cars you like
[01:00.54]If low bars you like
[01:02.11]If old hymns you like
[01:03.56]If bare limbs you like
[01:05.04]If Mae west you like
[01:06.52]Or me undressed you like
[01:08.08]Why nobody will oppose
[01:09.42]
[01:11.12]When every night the set that smart is in
[01:14.69]Truding at nudist parties in
[01:16.90]Studios
[01:17.85]
[01:19.65]Anything goes
[01:21.36]
[01:23.25]When missus Ned McLean
[01:25.64]God bless her
[01:26.57]Can get Russian reds to yes her
[01:28.72]Then I suppose
[01:29.91]
[01:31.85]Anything goes
[01:33.54]
[01:35.42]When Rockefeller still
[01:37.79]Can hoard enough money to let max Gordon
[01:40.99]Produce his shows
[01:42.26]
[01:44.00]Anything goes
[01:45.17]
[01:46.59]The world has gone mad today
[01:48.96]And good's bad today
[01:50.39]And black's white today
[01:51.93]And day's night today
[01:53.39]And that gent today
[01:54.89]You gave a cent today
[01:56.28]Once had several chateaux
[01:58.45]
[01:59.57]When folks who still can ride in jitneys
[02:02.84]Find out vanderbilts and whitneys
[02:04.93]Lack baby clothes
[02:06.62]
[02:07.96]Anything goes
[02:09.73]
[02:11.41]When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
[02:14.61]Instruct Anna sten in diction
[02:16.82]Then Anna shows
[02:18.05]
[02:19.89]Anything goes
[02:21.12]
[02:23.48]When you hear that lady mendl standing up
[02:26.87]Now turns a handspring landing up
[02:29.28]On her toes
[02:30.13]
[02:31.78]Anything goes
[02:33.38]
[02:34.67]Just think of those shocks you've got
[02:36.83]And those knocks you've got
[02:38.23]And those blues you've got
[02:39.73]From that news you've got
[02:41.12]And those pains you've got
[02:42.71]If any brains you've got
[02:44.31]From those little radios
[02:45.78]
[02:47.29]So missus r with all her trimmings
[02:50.63]Can broadcast a bed from Simmons
[02:52.48]'Cause Franklin knows
[02:53.78]
[02:55.69]Anything goes
