[00:00.00]Mad Dogs and Englishmen -Noel Coward [00:00.000] 作曲 : Noel Coward [00:07.732]In tropical climes there are certain times of day [00:10.622]When all the citizens retire [00:11.801]To tear their clothes off and perspire [00:14.330]It's one of those rules that the biggest fools obey [00:17.240]Because the sun is much too sultry and one must avoid [00:20.17]Its ultra violet ray [00:28.457]The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts [00:31.317]Because they're obviously absolutely nuts [00:35.327]Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun [00:38.597]The Japanese don't care to the Chinese wouldn't dare to [00:42.165]Hindus and argentines sleep firmly from twelve to one [00:45.623]But Englishmen detest a siesta [00:49.172]In the Philippines there are lovely screens [00:50.801]To protect you from the glare [00:52.860]In the Malay states there are hats like plates [00:54.429]Which the bruisers won't wear [00:56.358]At twelve noon the natives swoon and [00:58.216]No further work is done [00:59.916]But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun [01:10.886]It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see [01:14.145]That though the English are effete [01:15.694]They're quite impervious to heat [01:17.924]When the white man rides every native hides in glee [01:21.42]Because the simple creatures hope he will [01:23.192]Impale his solar tepee on a tree [01:32.322]It seems such a shame the English claim the earth [01:35.392]That they give rise to such hilarity and mirth [01:37.792]Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha [01:39.811]Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu [01:41.641]Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey [01:44.951]Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun [01:48.201]The toughest Burmese bandit can never understand it [01:51.890]In Rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun [01:55.420]They put their scotch or rye down and lie down [01:59.99]In the jungle town where the sun beats down [02:00.989]To the rage of man or beast [02:02.719]The English garb of the English [02:04.209]Sahib merely gets a bit more creased [02:06.279]In Bangkok at twelve o'clock [02:08.88]They foam at the mouth and run [02:10.68]But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun [02:13.747]Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun [02:17.326]The smallest Malay rabbit deplores this foolish habit [02:21.06]In Hong Kong they strike a gong [02:22.905]And fire off a noonday gun [02:24.685]To reprimand each inmate who's in late [02:28.383]In the mangrove swamps where the python romps [02:29.873]There is peace from twelve till two [02:32.22]Even caribous lie down and snooze [02:33.841]For there's nothing else to do [02:35.671]In Bengal to move at all is seldom if ever done [02:39.340]But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday [02:42.128]Out in the midday [02:43.138]Out in the midday [02:44.28]Out in the midday [02:44.888]Out in the midday [02:45.858]Out in the midday [02:46.718]Out in the midday sun
