Mad Dogs And Englishmen - Noel Coward[00:00:01]

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

When all the citizens retire[00:00:11]

To tear their clothes off and persprie[00:00:13]

It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey[00:00:15]

Because the sun is much too sultry[00:00:18]

And one must avoid it's ultry violet ray[00:00:19]

The native grieve when the white men leave their huts[00:00:29]

Because they're obviously definitely nuts[00:00:32]

Mad dogs and englishmen[00:00:36]

Go out in the midday sun[00:00:37]

The japanese don't care to[00:00:39]

The chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:41]

Hindoos and argentines sleep firmly from twelve to one[00:00:43]

But englishmen detest a siesta[00:00:46]

In the philippines[00:00:50]

There are lovely screens[00:00:50]

To protect you from the glare[00:00:51]

In the malay states[00:00:53]

There are hats like plates[00:00:54]

Which the britishers won't wear[00:00:55]

At twelve noon[00:00:57]

The natives swoon[00:00:58]

And no further work is done[00:00:58]

But mad dogs and englishmen[00:01:00]

Go out in the midday sun[00:01:02]

It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see[00:01:11]

That though the english are effete[00:01:14]

They're quite impervious to heat[00:01:16]

When the white man rides every native hides in glee[00:01:18]

Because the simple creatures hope he[00:01:21]

Will impale his solar topee on a tree[00:01:23]

It seems such a shame[00:01:32]

When the english claim[00:01:33]

The earth[00:01:34]

That they give rise to such hilarity and mirth[00:01:35]

Mad dogs and englishmen[00:01:45]

Go out in the midday sun[00:01:46]

The toughest burmese bandit[00:01:48]

Can never understand it[00:01:50]

In rangoon the heat of noon[00:01:52]

Is just what the natives shun[00:01:54]

They put their scotch or rye down[00:01:55]

And lie down[00:01:57]

In a jungle town[00:01:59]

Where the sun beats down[00:02:00]

To the rage of man and beast[00:02:01]

The english garb[00:02:03]

Of the english sahib[00:02:04]

Merely gets a bit more creased[00:02:04]

In bangkok[00:02:06]

At twelve o'clock[00:02:07]

They foam at the mouth and run[00:02:08]

But mad dogs and englishmen[00:02:10]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:12]

Mad dogs and englishmen[00:02:14]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:15]

The smallest malay rabbit[00:02:17]

Deplores this foolish habit[00:02:19]

In Hongkong[00:02:21]

They strike a gong[00:02:22]

And fire off a noonday gun[00:02:23]

To reprimand each inmate[00:02:24]

Who's in late[00:02:26]

In the mangrove swamps[00:02:28]

Where the python romps[00:02:29]

There is peace from twelve till two[00:02:30]

Even caribous[00:02:32]

Lie around and snooze[00:02:33]

For there's nothing else to do[00:02:34]

In bengal[00:02:35]

To move at all[00:02:36]

Is seldom if ever done[00:02:37]

But mad dogs and englishmen[00:02:39]

Go out in the midday[00:02:41]

Out in the midday[00:02:42]

Out in the midday[00:02:43]

Out in the midday[00:02:44]

Out in the midday[00:02:45]

Out in the midday[00:02:45]

Out in the midday sun[00:02:46]
