《His Excellency Regrets》歌词

[00:00:00] His Excellency Regrets - Noel Coward and Orchestra
[00:00:03] Now listen please
[00:00:04] I'll tell you confidentially
[00:00:06] How ADCs
[00:00:08] Are trained in social grace
[00:00:10] They must be brave
[00:00:11] For daily
[00:00:12] They're called upon to save
[00:00:14] His excellency's face
[00:00:18] Any explanation
[00:00:19] Of the duties of an ADC
[00:00:21] Proves the complications
[00:00:22] That are rife at government house
[00:00:24] Certain situations
[00:00:26] They could never let a lady see
[00:00:28] There are strange vibrations
[00:00:29] In the life of government house
[00:00:31] Truth is often sacrificed
[00:00:33] For reasons of diplomacy
[00:00:35] That of course you understand
[00:00:36] But all the same
[00:00:37] It must be grand
[00:00:38] To be
[00:00:39] So suave
[00:00:40] So calm
[00:00:41] So dignified
[00:00:42] If you knew what all that signified
[00:00:45] They
[00:00:48] Who break the ninth commandment every day
[00:00:51] Would hang their heads in shame and say
[00:00:53] 'Forgive
[00:00:54] We have
[00:00:55] To live
[00:00:56] Officially on feet of clay'
[00:00:59] Every minute
[00:01:00] We're made to sin it
[00:01:01] Is really very depraved
[00:01:03] But to hell with the lies we tell
[00:01:05] His excellency's honour must be saved
[00:01:14] His excellency regrets
[00:01:15] That owing to an attack of gout
[00:01:17] He really dare not venture out
[00:01:19] On saturday to dine
[00:01:21] His excellency regrets
[00:01:22] That owing to doctor's orders
[00:01:24] He cannot attend the mission tea
[00:01:26] And also must decline
[00:01:28] Your kind invitation
[00:01:30] For wednesday week
[00:01:31] A slight operation
[00:01:33] And poor circulation
[00:01:34] Combined with a weedy physique
[00:01:36] Has made him unable to speak
[00:01:38] All this in addition to what
[00:01:40] The doctors describe as a clot
[00:01:42] Which may disappear
[00:01:42] By the end of the year
[00:01:44] But may very possibly not
[00:01:46] His excellency regrets
[00:01:47] That owing to his exalted state
[00:01:49] He can no more associate
[00:01:51] With amiable brunettes
[00:01:53] Walk up walk up
[00:01:54] We're willing to take your bets
[00:01:56] That that's one of the principal things his excellency regrets
[00:01:59] So now you know
[00:02:01] About the diplomatic corps
[00:02:03] How it can so
[00:02:04] Corrupt the soul of youth
[00:02:06] What happened if
[00:02:07] Someday they gave the waiting world a whiff
[00:02:10] Of plain unvarnished truth
[00:02:14] His excellency regrets
[00:02:15] That failing a better alibi
[00:02:17] He must admit he'd rather die
[00:02:19] Than open your bazaar
[00:02:21] His excellency regrets
[00:02:22] That lacking enough official scope
[00:02:24] He can't disband the band of hope
[00:02:26] No matter where they are
[00:02:28] He frankly despises
[00:02:30] The people he rules
[00:02:31] His gorge also rises
[00:02:33] When giving the prizes
[00:02:34] At co educational schools
[00:02:36] To rows of illiterate fools
[00:02:38] And if you should write in the book
[00:02:40] He'll give you a murderous look
[00:02:42] For it ruins his day
[00:02:43] To be taken away
[00:02:44] From his rod and his line and his hook
[00:02:46] His excellency regrets
[00:02:48] He hasn't enough to run the house
[00:02:49] Or pay the staff or feed a mouse
[00:02:51] Upon the pay he gets
[00:02:53] Hey ho hey ho
[00:02:55] He's up to his ears in debts
[00:02:56] But that's one of the least of the things his excellency regrets
