Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above.
Don't fence me in.
Don't Fence Me In (1934)
I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why it should be true
That I get a kick out of you?
Anything Goes (1934)
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, Heaven knows,
Anything goes.
Anything Goes (1934)
This rule I propose,
Always have an ace in the hole. Always try to arrive at
Having an ace some place private. Always have an ace in the hole.
Let's Face It (1941)
Be the poor silly ass
And you'll always travel first class.
The Pirate (1948)
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve this mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
Good authors, too, who once knew better words
Now only use four-letter words
Writing prose —
Anything goes.
Anything Goes (1934)
The world admits bears in pits do it,
Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it,
Let's do it, let's fall in love.
Paris (1928)
