《Mad Dogs and Englishmen》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Six Hits/a Miss

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

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

[00:00:13] To tear their clothes off and perspire

[00:00:15] It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey

[00:00:18] Because the sun is much too sultry

[00:00:20] And one must avoid its ultra violet ray

[00:00:29] The native grieve when the white

[00:00:30] Men leave their huts

[00:00:32] Because they're obviously definitely nuts

[00:00:36] Mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:00:37] Go out in the midday sun

[00:00:39] The Japanese don't care to

[00:00:41] The Chinese wouldn't dare to

[00:00:43] Hindoos and Argentines sleep

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

[00:00:46] 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

[00:00:55] Which the Britishers won't wear

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

[00:00:58] And no further work is done

[00:01:00] But mad dogs and Englishmen

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

[00:01:11] 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

[00:01:35] The earth give rise to

[00:01:36] Such hilarity and mirth

[00:01:37] Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[00:01:39] Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu

[00:01:41] Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey

[00:01:42] En en en en en en en

[00:01:44] Mad dogs and Englishmen

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

[00:01:47] 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

[00:01:56] And lie down 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

[00:02:03] Merely gets a bit more creased

[00:02:05] In Bangkok

[00:02:06] At twelve o'clock

[00:02:07] They foam at the mouth and run

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

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

[00:02:13] Mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:02:14] Go out in the midday sun

[00:02:16] The smallest Malay rabbit

[00:02:18] Deplores this stupid habit in Hongkong

[00:02:21] They strike a gong and

[00:02:22] Fire off a noonday gun

[00:02:23] To reprimand each inmate

[00:02:25] Who's in late

[00:02:27] In the mangrove swamps

[00:02:28] Where the python romps

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

[00:02:31] Even caribous

[00:02:31] Lie around and snooze

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

[00:02:33] To do in Bengal to move

[00:02:36] At all is seldom if ever done

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

[00:02:39] Go out in the midday

[00:02:41] Out in the midday

[00:02:42] 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 sun
