Anything Goes

Without the music of Cole Porter
ask any show business reporter
The P.G. Wodehouse, Bolton book
would hardly get a second look
and might have sunk like the Titanic
(some might think it was time to panic,
though then it might have made more money)
Still, squeezing melody from prose
Is something, everybody knows
Is what show business’ all about
Anything goes, without a doubt
