《The Stately Homes of England》歌词
[00:00:00] The Stately Homes of England - Noel Coward
[00:00:07] Lord elderly lord borrowmere
[00:00:09] Lord sickert and lord camp
[00:00:11] With every virtue every grace
[00:00:14] Ah what avails the sceptred race
[00:00:18] Here you see the four of us
[00:00:20] And there are so many more of us
[00:00:22] Eldest sons
[00:00:24] That must succeed
[00:00:26] We know how caesar conquered gaul
[00:00:28] And how to whack a cricket ball
[00:00:29] Apart from this our education
[00:00:32] Lacks co ordination
[00:00:34] Though we're young
[00:00:36] And tentative
[00:00:37] And rather rip representative
[00:00:38] Scions of a noble breed
[00:00:42] We are the products of those homes
[00:00:44] Serene and stately
[00:00:45] Which only lately
[00:00:48] Seem to have run to seed
[00:00:50] The stately homes of england
[00:00:52] How beautifully they stand
[00:00:54] To prove the upper classes
[00:00:56] Have still the upper hand
[00:00:58] Though the fact that they have to be rebuilt
[00:01:00] And frequently mortgaged to the hilt
[00:01:02] Is inclined to take the gilt
[00:01:05] Off the gingerbread
[00:01:06] And certainly damps the fun
[00:01:08] Of the eldest son
[00:01:10] But still we won't be beaten
[00:01:12] We'll scrimp and scrape and save
[00:01:14] The playing fields of eton
[00:01:16] Have made us frightfully brave
[00:01:18] And though if the van dycks have to go
[00:01:20] And we pawn the bechstein grand
[00:01:21] We'll stand by the stately homes of england
[00:01:30] Here you see
[00:01:31] The pick of us
[00:01:32] You may be heartily sick of us
[00:01:34] Still with sense
[00:01:35] We're all imbued
[00:01:37] Our homes command extensive views
[00:01:40] And with assistance from the jews
[00:01:41] We have been able to dispose of
[00:01:44] Rows and rows and rows of
[00:01:46] Gainsboroughs and lawrences
[00:01:49] Some sporting prints of aunt florence's
[00:01:50] Some of which were rather rude
[00:01:53] Although we sometimes flaunt our family conventions
[00:01:57] Our good intentions
[00:02:00] Mustn't be misconstrued
[00:02:02] The stately homes of england
[00:02:04] We proudly represent
[00:02:06] We only keep them up
[00:02:07] For americans to rent
[00:02:09] Though the pipes that supply the bathroom burst
[00:02:12] And the lavatory makes you fear the worst
[00:02:14] It was used by charles
[00:02:16] Quite informally
[00:02:18] And later by george iv
[00:02:20] On a journey north
[00:02:22] The state departments keep their
[00:02:24] Historical renown
[00:02:26] It's wiser not to sleep there
[00:02:28] In case they tumble down
[00:02:30] But still if they ever catch on fire
[00:02:31] Which with any luck they might
[00:02:33] We'll fight for the stately homes of england
[00:02:37] The stately homes of england
[00:02:39] Though rather in the lurch
[00:02:41] Provide a lot of chances
[00:02:43] For psychical research
[00:02:45] There's the ghost of a crazy younger son
[00:02:47] Who murdered in 1351
[00:02:49] An extremely rowdy nun
[00:02:52] Who resented it
[00:02:53] And people who come to call
[00:02:56] Meet her in the hall
[00:02:57] The baby in the guest wing
[00:02:59] Who crouches by the grate
[00:03:01] Was walled up in the west wing in 1428
[00:03:05] If anyone spots
[00:03:06] The queen of scots
[00:03:07] In a hand embroidered shroud
[00:03:09] We're proud of the stately homes of england
