《Mad Dogs and Englishmen》歌词

[00:00:00] Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Danny Kaye

[00:00:08] In Tropical climes there

[00:00:09] Are certain times of day

[00:00:12] When all the citizens retire

[00:00:14] To take their clothes off and perspire

[00:00:16] It's one of those rules

[00:00:17] The greatest fools obey

[00:00:20] Because the Sun is far too sultry

[00:00:22] And one must avoid its ultry-violet

[00:00:24] Rays

[00:00:32] The natives grieve when the

[00:00:33] White Men leave their huts

[00:00:35] Because they're obviously

[00:00:37] Definitely nuts

[00:00:40] Mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:00:42] Go out in the midday sun

[00:00:44] The Japanese don't care to

[00:00:46] The Chinese wouldn't dare to

[00:00:48] Hindus and Argentines sleep

[00:00:50] Firmly from twelve till one

[00:00:52] But Englishmen detest a siesta

[00:00:56] In the Philippines

[00:00:56] They have lovely screens

[00:00:58] To protect you from the

[00:00:59] Glare

[00:00:59] In the Malay States

[00:01:00] There are hats like plates

[00:01:01] Which the Britishers

[00:01:02] Won't wear

[00:01:03] At twelve noon the natives swoon

[00:01:05] And no further work is done

[00:01:07] But mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:01:09] Go out in the midday sun

[00:01:25] It's such a surprise

[00:01:26] For the Eastern eyes to see

[00:01:28] That though the English are effete

[00:01:30] They're quite impervious to heat

[00:01:33] When the White Man rides

[00:01:34] Every native hides in glee

[00:01:36] Because the simple creatures hope

[00:01:38] He will impale his solar topi on a tree

[00:01:53] Mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:01:54] Go out in the midday sun

[00:01:56] The toughest Burmese bandit

[00:02:00] In Rangoon the heat of noon

[00:02:02] Is just what the natives shun

[00:02:04] They put their Scotch or

[00:02:06] Rye down and lie down

[00:02:08] In a jungle town where

[00:02:09] The Sun beats down

[00:02:11] To the rage of man and beast

[00:02:12] The English garb

[00:02:13] Of the English Sahib merely

[00:02:14] Gets a bit more creased

[00:02:16] In Bangkok at twelve o'clock

[00:02:18] They foam at the mouth and run

[00:02:20] But mad dogs and Englishmen

[00:02:22] Go out in the midday

[00:02:23] Go out in the midday

[00:02:24] Go out in the midday sun
