In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

More quotes by Porter, Cole

Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose.
Anything goes!

More quotes by Porter, Cole

You’re the top!
You’re the Colosseum.
You’re the top!
You’re the Louvre Museum.
You’re a melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You’re a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet,
You’re Mickey Mouse.

You’re the Nile,
You’re the Tow’r of Pisa,
You’re the smile
On the Mona Lisa.
I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, baby, I’m the bottom
You’re the top!

Cole Porter (1891-1964) American composer and songwriter
“You’re the Top” (1934)
