Song lyrics to Anything Goes, Written by Cole Porter, Performed by Mitzi Gaynor in the movie Anything Goes

Times have changed
And we’ve often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock. If today
Any shock they should try to stem
‘Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
