[00:00:00] I Wonder What Happened to Him - Noel Coward/Norman Hackforth

[00:00:02] Written by：Noel Coward

[00:00:10] The India that we read about

[00:00:12] And may have been misled about

[00:00:14] In one respect has kept itself intact

[00:00:17] Though 'pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked

[00:00:20] And thinned

[00:00:20] The good old Indian army was a fact

[00:00:24] That famous monumental man

[00:00:26] The officer and gentleman

[00:00:27] Still lives and breathes and functions from Bombay to Katmandu

[00:00:31] At any moment one can glimpse

[00:00:32] Matured or embryonic 'blimps'

[00:00:34] Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who

[00:00:38] Though Eastern sounds may fascinate your ear

[00:00:41] When West meets West you're always sure to hear

[00:00:46] Whatever became of old Bagot

[00:00:48] I haven't seen him for a year

[00:00:50] Is it true that young Forbes had to marry that faggot

[00:00:52] He met in the vale of Kashmir

[00:00:54] Have you had any news

[00:00:55] Or that chap in the blues

[00:00:57] Was it Prosser or Pyecroft or Pym

[00:01:00] He was stationed in Simla or was it Bengal

[00:01:04] But I know he got blind at a ball in Nepal

[00:01:06] And wrote several four letter words on the wall

[00:01:09] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:13] Whatever became of old Shelley

[00:01:15] Is it true that young Briggs was cashiered

[00:01:18] For riding quite nude on a push bike through Delhi

[00:01:21] The day the new viceroy appeared

[00:01:24] Have you had any word

[00:01:25] Of that bloke in the 'third'

[00:01:26] Was it Southerby Sedgwick or sim

[00:01:28] They had him thrown out of the club in Bombay

[00:01:31] For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay

[00:01:34] He took to pig sticking in quite the wrong way

[00:01:37] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:47] One must admit that by and large

[00:01:49] Upholders of the British Raj

[00:01:51] Don't shine in conversation as a breed

[00:01:54] Though Indian army officers can read

[00:01:57] A bit

[00:01:57] Their verbal wit has rather run to seed

[00:02:01] Their splendid insularity

[00:02:02] And roguish jocularity

[00:02:04] Was echoing through India when Victoria was queen

[00:02:08] In restaurants and dining cars

[00:02:10] In messes clubs and hotel bars

[00:02:12] They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been

[00:02:16] Though worlds may change and nations disappear

[00:02:21] Above the shrieking chaos you will hear

[00:02:27] Whatever became of old tucker

[00:02:30] Have you heard any word of young mills

[00:02:32] Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka

[00:02:34] And had to be sent to the hills

[00:02:37] They say that young lees

[00:02:38] Had a dose of D T's'

[00:02:40] And his hopes of promotion are slim

[00:02:42] According to Stubbs who's a bit of a louse

[00:02:45] The silly young blighter went out on a 'souse'

[00:02:48] And took two old tarts into government house

[00:02:51] I wonder what happened to him

[00:02:55] Whatever became of old keeling

[00:02:59] And frightened three nuns in a train in Darjeeling

[00:03:08] D'you remember Munroe

[00:03:09] In the p a v o

[00:03:10] He was tallish and mentally dim

[00:03:14] The talk of heredity can't be quite true

[00:03:17] He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two

[00:03:20] I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q

[00:03:24] I'm sure that's what happened to him
