Mad Dogs And Englishmen - Danny Kaye/The Andrews Sisters (安德鲁斯姐妹)/Trudy Stevens[00:00:00]

Written by：Noel Coward[00:00:01]

In tropical climes there are certain times of day[00:00:08]

When all the citizens retire to take their clothes off and perspire[00:00:12]

It's one of those rules the greatest fools obey[00:00:16]

Because the sun is far too sultry and one must avoid its ultry violet[00:00:19]

Rays[00:00:24]

The natives grieve when the white men leave their huts[00:00:31]

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

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:00:40]

The japanese don't care to the chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:44]

Hindus and argentines sleep firmly from twelve till one[00:00:48]

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

In the philippines they have lovely screens to protect you from the[00:00:56]

Glare[00:00:59]

In the malay states there are hats like plates which the britishers[00:00:59]

Won't wear[00:01:02]

At twelve noon the natives swoon and no further work is done[00:01:03]

But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:01:07]

It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see[00:01:25]

That though the English are effete they're quite impervious to heat[00:01:28]

When the white man rides every native hides in glee[00:01:33]

Because the simple creatures hope he will impale his solar topi on a[00:01:36]

Tree[00:01:41]

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:01:53]

The toughest burmese bandit can never understand it[00:01:57]

In rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun[00:02:01]

They put their scotch or rye down and lie down[00:02:05]

In a jungle town where[00:02:09]

The sun beats down to the rage of man and beast[00:02:10]

The English garb of the English sahib merely gets a bit more creased[00:02:13]

In bangkok at twelve o'clock they foam at the mouth and run[00:02:16]

But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday[00:02:20]

Out in the midday[00:02:23]

Out in the midday sun[00:02:24]
