《Mad Dogs and Englishmen》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward----(replace by 84005)

[00:00:07] In tropical climes

[00:00:08] There are certain times of day

[00:00:10] When all the citizens retire

[00:00:12] To tear their clothes off

[00:00:13] And perspire

[00:00:14] It's one of those rules

[00:00:15] That the biggest fools obey

[00:00:17] Because the sun is much

[00:00:18] Too sultry and one must avoid

[00:00:20] It's ultry violet ray

[00:00:28] The natives grieve when

[00:00:29] The white men leave their huts

[00:00:31] Because they're obviously

[00:00:32] Absolutely nuts

[00:00:35] Mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:00:36] Go out in the midday sun

[00:00:38] The Japanese don't care to

[00:00:40] The Chinese wouldn't dare to

[00:00:42] Hindus and Argentines sleep

[00:00:44] Firmly from twelve to one

[00:00:45] But Englishmen detest a siesta

[00:00:49] In the Philippines

[00:00:50] There are lovely screens

[00:00:50] To protect you from the glare

[00:00:52] In the Malay states

[00:00:53] There are hats like plates

[00:00:54] Which the Britishers won't wear

[00:00:56] At twelve noon the natives swoon and

[00:00:58] No further work is done

[00:00:59] But Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[00:01:01] Go out in the midday sun

[00:01:10] It's such a surprise for

[00:01:12] The Eastern eyes to see

[00:01:14] That though the English are effete

[00:01:15] They're quite impervious to heat

[00:01:17] When the white man rides

[00:01:18] Every native hides in glee

[00:01:21] Because the simple creatures hope he will

[00:01:23] Impale his solar topee on a tree

[00:01:32] It seems such a shame that

[00:01:33] When the English claim the earth

[00:01:35] That they give rise to

[00:01:36] Such hilarity and mirth

[00:01:44] Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[00:01:46] Go out in the midday sun

[00:01:48] The toughest Burmese bandit

[00:01:49] Can never understand it

[00:01:51] In Rangoon the heat of noon is

[00:01:53] Just what the natives shun

[00:01:55] They put their scotch or rye down

[00:01:57] And lie down

[00:01:59] In the jungle town where

[00:02:00] The sun beats down

[00:02:01] To the rage of man or beast

[00:02:02] The English garb of the English

[00:02:04] Sahib merely gets a bit more creased

[00:02:06] In Bangkok at twelve o'clock

[00:02:08] They foam at the mouth and run

[00:02:09] But mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:02:11] Go out in the midday sun

[00:02:13] Mad Dogs and Englishmen

[00:02:15] Go out in the midday sun

[00:02:17] The smallest Malay rabbit

[00:02:19] Deplores this foolish habit

[00:02:20] In Hong Kong they strike a gong

[00:02:22] And fire off a noonday gun

[00:02:24] To reprimand each inmate

[00:02:26] Who's in late

[00:02:28] In the mangrove swamps

[00:02:29] Where the python romps

[00:02:30] There is peace from twelve till two

[00:02:31] Even caribous lie down and snooze

[00:02:33] For there's nothing else to do

[00:02:35] In Bengal to move at all

[00:02:37] Is seldom if ever done

[00:02:39] But mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:02:41] Go out in the midday

[00:02:42] Out in the midday

[00:02:43] Out in the midday

[00:02:43] Out in the midday

[00:02:44] Out in the midday

[00:02:45] Out in the midday

[00:02:46] Out in the midday sun
