《The Stately Homes Of England》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stately Homes Of England - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Gertrude Lawrence
[00:00:05] Lord elderly lord borrowmere
[00:00:07] Lord sickert and lord camp
[00:00:10] With every virtue every grace
[00:00:12] Ah what avails the sceptred race
[00:00:16] Here you see the four of us
[00:00:19] And there are so many more of us
[00:00:21] Eldest sons
[00:00:22] That must succeed
[00:00:25] We know how caesar conquered gaul
[00:00:27] And how to whack a cricket ball
[00:00:29] Apart from this our education
[00:00:31] Lacks co-ordination
[00:00:34] Though we're young
[00:00:35] And tentative
[00:00:36] And rather rip-representative
[00:00:38] Scions of a noble breed
[00:00:41] We are the products of those homes
[00:00:44] Serene and stately
[00:00:46] That only lately
[00:00:48] Seem to have run to seed
[00:00:50] The stately homes of England
[00:00:52] How beautiful 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
[00:01:01] And frequently mortgaged to the hilt
[00:01:03] Is inclined to take the gilt
[00:01:05] Off the gingerbread
[00:01:07] And certainly damps the fun
[00:01:09] Of the eldest son
[00:01:11] But still we won't be beaten
[00:01:13] We'll scrimp and scrape and save
[00:01:15] The playing fields of eton
[00:01:17] Have made us frightfully brave
[00:01:19] And though if the van dycks have to go
[00:01:21] And we pawn the bechstein grand
[00:01:23] We'll stand
[00:01:24] By the stately homes of England
[00:01:32] Here you see the pick of us
[00:01:34] You may be heartily sick of us
[00:01:36] Still with sense we're all imbued
[00:01:40] Our homes command extensive views
[00:01:42] And with assistance from the jews
[00:01:44] We have been able to dispose of
[00:01:46] Rows and rows and rows of
[00:01:49] Gainsboroughs and lawrences
[00:01:51] Some sporting prints of aunt florence's
[00:01:53] Some of which were rather rude
[00:01:56] Although we sometimes
[00:01:58] Flaunt our family conventions
[00:02:00] Our good intentions
[00:02:03] Mustn't be misconstrued
[00:02:05] The stately homes of England
[00:02:07] We proudly represent
[00:02:09] We only keep them up
[00:02:11] For americans to rent
[00:02:13] Though the pipes that supply the bathroom burst
[00:02:16] And the lavatory makes you fear the worst
[00:02:18] It was used by charles I
[00:02:21] Quite informally
[00:02:22] And later by george IV
[00:02:24] On a journey north
[00:02:26] The state departments keep their
[00:02:28] Historical renown
[00:02:30] It's wiser not to sleep there
[00:02:32] In case they tumble down
[00:02:34] But still if they ever catch on fire
[00:02:36] Which with any luck they might
[00:02:38] We'll fight
[00:02:39] For the stately homes of England
[00:02:43] The stately homes of England
[00:02:45] Though rather in the lurch
[00:02:47] Provide a lot of chances
[00:02:49] For psychical research
[00:02:51] There's the ghost
[00:02:52] Of a crazy younger son
[00:02:53] Who murdered in 1351
[00:02:55] An extremely rowdy nun
[00:02:58] Who resented it
[00:02:59] And people who come to call
[00:03:01] Meet her in the hall
[00:03:03] The baby in the guest wing
[00:03:06] Who crouches by the grate
[00:03:08] Was walled up in the west wing
[00:03:10] In 1428
[00:03:12] If anyone spots
[00:03:13] The queen of scots
[00:03:14] In a hand-embroidered shroud
[00:03:16] We're proud
[00:03:17] Of the stately homes of England
