《I Wonder What Happened To Him》歌词

[00:00:09] The india that one read about

[00:00:11] And may have been misled about

[00:00:13] In one respect has kept itself intact

[00:00:16] Though pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked

[00:00:18] And thinned

[00:00:19] The good old indian army's still a fact

[00:00:23] That famous monumental man

[00:00:24] The officer and gentleman

[00:00:26] Still lives and breathes and functions from bombay to katmandu

[00:00:29] At any moment one can glimpse

[00:00:31] Matured or embryonic blimps'

[00:00:33] Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who

[00:00:36] Though eastern sounds may fascinate your ear

[00:00:40] When west meets west you're always sure to hear

[00:00:45] Whatever became of old bagot

[00:00:47] I haven't seen him for a year

[00:00:49] Is it true that young forbes had to marry that faggot

[00:00:51] He met in the vale of kashmir

[00:00:53] Have you had any news

[00:00:54] Or that chap in the blues

[00:00:56] Was it prosser or pyecroft or pym

[00:00:58] He was stationed in simla or was it bengal

[00:01:02] I know he got blind at a ball in nepal

[00:01:05] And wrote several four letter words on the wall

[00:01:07] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:11] Whatever became of old shelley

[00:01:13] Is it true that young briggs was cashiered

[00:01:16] For riding quite nude on a push bike through delhi

[00:01:19] The day the new viceroy appeared

[00:01:22] Have you had any word

[00:01:23] Of that bloke in the third

[00:01:24] Was it southerby sedgwick or sim

[00:01:26] They had him thrown out of the club in bombay

[00:01:29] For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay

[00:01:32] He took to pig sticking in quite the wrong way

[00:01:35] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:45] One must admit that by and large

[00:01:47] Upholders of the british raj*

[00:01:48] Don't shine in conversation as a breed

[00:01:52] Though indian army officers can read

[00:01:54] A bit

[00:01:55] Their verbal wit has rather run to seed

[00:01:59] Their splendid insularity

[00:02:00] And roguish jocularity

[00:02:02] Was echoing through India when victoria was queen

[00:02:05] In restaurants and dining cars

[00:02:08] In messes clubs and hotel bars

[00:02:10] They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been

[00:02:14] Though worlds may change and nations disappear

[00:02:18] Above the shrieking chaos you will hear

[00:02:24] Whatever became of old tucker

[00:02:26] Have you heard any word of young mills

[00:02:29] Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka

[00:02:31] And had to be sent to the hills

[00:02:34] They say that young lees

[00:02:36] Had a go of d t's'

[00:02:37] And his hopes of promotion are slim

[00:02:40] According to stubbs who's a bit of a louse

[00:02:42] The silly young blighter went out on a souse

[00:02:45] And took two old tarts into government house

[00:02:48] I wonder what happened to him

[00:02:52] Whatever became of old archie

[00:02:56] I hear he departed this life

[00:02:57] After rounding up ten sacred cows in karachi

[00:03:01] To welcome the governor's wife

[00:03:05] D'you remember munroe

[00:03:06] In the p a v o

[00:03:07] He was tallish and mentally dim

[00:03:10] The talk of heredity can't be quite true

[00:03:13] He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two

[00:03:17] I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q

[00:03:20] I'm sure that's what happened to him
