《The Stately Homes of England》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stately Homes of England - Noel Coward and Orchestra
[00:00:05] Lord Elderly Lord Borrowmere
[00:00:06] Lord Sickert and Lord Camp
[00:00:09] With every virtue every grace
[00:00:11] Ah what avails the sceptred race
[00:00:15] Here you see the four of us
[00:00:18] And there are so many more of us
[00:00:20] Eldest sons
[00:00:21] That must succeed
[00:00:23] We know how Caesar conquered Gaul
[00:00:26] And how to whack a cricket ball
[00:00:27] Apart from this our education
[00:00:30] Lacks co-ordination
[00:00:32] Though we're young
[00:00:33] And tentative
[00:00:34] And rather rip-representative
[00:00:36] Scions of a noble breed
[00:00:39] We are the products of those homes
[00:00:42] Serene and stately
[00:00:43] That only lately
[00:00:46] Seem to have run to seed
[00:00:48] The stately homes of England
[00:00:50] How beautiful they stand
[00:00:52] To prove the upper classes
[00:00:54] Have still the upper hand
[00:00:56] Though the fact
[00:00:56] That they have to be rebuilt
[00:00:58] And frequently mortgaged to the hilt
[00:01:00] Is inclined to take the gilt
[00:01:03] Off the gingerbread
[00:01:04] And certainly damps the fun
[00:01:06] Of the eldest son
[00:01:08] But still we won't be beaten
[00:01:10] We'll scrimp and scrape and save
[00:01:12] The playing fields of Eton
[00:01:14] Have made us frightfully brave
[00:01:16] And though if the Van Dycks have to go
[00:01:18] And we pawn the Bechstein Grand
[00:01:19] We'll stand
[00:01:20] By the stately homes of England
[00:01:28] Here you see the pick of us
[00:01:30] You may be heartily sick of us
[00:01:32] Still with sense we're all imbued
[00:01:35] Our homes command extensive views
[00:01:37] And with assistance from the Jews
[00:01:39] We have been able to dispose of
[00:01:42] Rows and rows and rows of
[00:01:44] Gainsboroughs and Lawrences
[00:01:46] Some sporting prints of Aunt Florence's
[00:01:49] Some of which were rather rude
[00:01:51] Although we sometimes
[00:01:53] Flaunt our family conventions
[00:01:55] Our good intentions
[00:01:58] Mustn't be misconstrued
[00:02:00] The stately homes of England
[00:02:02] We proudly represent
[00:02:04] We only keep them up
[00:02:06] For Americans to rent
[00:02:08] Though the pipes
[00:02:08] That supply the bathroom burst
[00:02:10] And the lavatory
[00:02:11] Makes you fear the worst
[00:02:12] It was used by Charles I
[00:02:15] (Quite informally)
[00:02:16] And later by George IV
[00:02:18] On a journey north
[00:02:20] The state departments keep their
[00:02:22] Historical renown
[00:02:24] It's wiser not to sleep there
[00:02:26] In case they tumble down
[00:02:28] But still if they ever catch on fire
[00:02:30] Which with any luck they might
[00:02:31] We'll fight
[00:02:32] For the stately homes of England
[00:02:36] The stately homes of England
[00:02:38] Though rather in the lurch
[00:02:40] Provide a lot of chances
[00:02:42] For psychical research
[00:02:43] There's the ghost
[00:02:44] Of a crazy younger son
[00:02:46] Who murdered in 1351
[00:02:48] An extremely rowdy nun
[00:02:51] Who resented it
[00:02:52] And people who come to call
[00:02:54] Meet her in the hall
[00:02:55] The baby in the guest wing
[00:02:58] Who crouches by the grate
[00:03:00] Was walled up in the west wing
[00:03:02] In 1428
[00:03:04] If anyone spots
[00:03:05] The Queen of Scots
[00:03:06] In a hand-embroidered shroud
[00:03:07] We're proud
[00:03:08] Of the stately homes of England
