10.Anything Goes

作詞:Cole Porter
作曲:Cole Porter
編曲:HAJIME OGASAWARA

Times have changed,
時代已經不一樣了
And we've often rewound the clock,
讓我們倒轉時鐘
Since the Puritans got a shock,
回到當年清教徒登上普利茅斯岩
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
遙想他們是如此的驚訝
If today,
要是是在今天
Any shock they should try to stem,
可能要等到
Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
普利茅斯岩降落在他們身上
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
才會嚇到他們

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
在過去的日子裡
Was looked on as something shocking,
長統襪總是引人注目
But now, God knows,
但是現在天曉得
Anything Goes.
凡事皆可

Good authors too who once knew betterwords,
大文豪曾經要有深厚的文學底子
Now only use four letter words Writing prose,
現在只要四個字就能寫篇文章
Anything Goes.
凡事皆可

The world has gone mad today
世界已經瘋了
And good's bad today,
好的變成壞的
And black's white today,
黑的變成白的
And day's night today,
白天變成晚上
When most guys today That women prize today
最受女人們喜愛的男人
Are just silly gigolos
只不過是些蠢蛋
And though I'm not a great romancer
雖然我不會寫什麼動人的愛情故事
I know that I'm bound to answer
但我知道有人求婚時
When you propose,
我一定會回應
Anything goes
凡事皆可

When grandmama whose age is eighty
那個八十歲的老奶奶
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
來到夜總會和小夥子打情賣俏
Anything Goes.
凡事皆可

When mothers pack and leave poor father
媽媽們收拾行李離開沒出息的爸爸
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
只因為她們要成為職業網球選手
