《Mad Dogs An’ Englishmen》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Dogs An' Englishmen - Various Artists (欧美群星)

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

[00:00:11] When all the citizens retire

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

[00:00:14] It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey

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

[00:00:19] And one must avoid it's ultry violet ray

[00:00:28] The native grieve when the white men leave their huts

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

[00:00:35] Mad dogs and englishmen

[00:00:37] 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] Hindoos and argentines sleep 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

[00:00:51] 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

[00:00:57] The natives swoon

[00:00:58] And 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 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 every native hides in glee

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

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

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

[00:01:33] When the english claim

[00:01:33] The earth

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

[00:01:53] Is just what the natives shun

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

[00:01:57] And lie down

[00:01:58] In a jungle town

[00:01:59] Where the sun beats down

[00:02:00] To the rage of man and beast

[00:02:02] The english garb

[00:02:03] Of the english sahib

[00:02:04] Merely gets a bit more creased

[00:02:06] In bangkok

[00:02:07] 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 Hongkong

[00:02:21] 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

[00:02:29] There is peace from twelve till two

[00:02:31] Even caribous

[00:02:32] Lie around and snooze

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

[00:02:35] In bengal

[00:02:36] To move at all

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

[00:02:38] But mad dogs and englishmen

[00:02:40] Go out in the midday

[00:02:41] Out in the midday

[00:02:42] 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
