《Mad Dogs And Englishmen》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Dogs And Englishmen - Danny Kaye/The Andrews Sisters (安德鲁斯姐妹)/Trudy Stevens

[00:00:01] Written by：Noel Coward

[00:00:08] In tropical climes there are certain times of day

[00:00:12] When all the citizens retire to take their clothes off and perspire

[00:00:16] It's one of those rules the greatest fools obey

[00:00:19] Because the sun is far too sultry and one must avoid its ultry violet

[00:00:24] Rays

[00:00:31] The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts

[00:00:35] Because they're obviously definitely nuts

[00:00:40] Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun

[00:00:44] The japanese don't care to the chinese wouldn't dare to

[00:00:48] Hindus and argentines sleep firmly from twelve till one

[00:00:52] But englishmen detest a siesta

[00:00:56] In the philippines they have lovely screens to protect you from the

[00:00:59] Glare

[00:00:59] In the malay states there are hats like plates which the britishers

[00:01:02] Won't wear

[00:01:03] At twelve noon the natives swoon and no further work is done

[00:01:07] But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun

[00:01:25] It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see

[00:01:28] That though the English are effete they're quite impervious to heat

[00:01:33] When the white man rides every native hides in glee

[00:01:36] Because the simple creatures hope he will impale his solar topi on a

[00:01:41] Tree

[00:01:53] Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun

[00:01:57] The toughest burmese bandit can never understand it

[00:02:01] In rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun

[00:02:05] They put their scotch or rye down and lie down

[00:02:09] In a jungle town where

[00:02:10] The sun beats down to the rage of man and beast

[00:02:13] The English garb of the English sahib merely gets a bit more creased

[00:02:16] In bangkok at twelve o'clock they foam at the mouth and run

[00:02:20] But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday

[00:02:23] Out in the midday

[00:02:24] Out in the midday sun
