Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward----(replace by 84005)[00:00:00]

In tropical climes[00:00:07]

There are certain times of day[00:00:08]

When all the citizens retire[00:00:10]

To tear their clothes off[00:00:12]

And perspire[00:00:13]

It's one of those rules[00:00:14]

That the biggest fools obey[00:00:15]

Because the sun is much[00:00:17]

Too sultry and one must avoid[00:00:18]

It's ultry violet ray[00:00:20]

The natives grieve when[00:00:28]

The white men leave their huts[00:00:29]

Because they're obviously[00:00:31]

Absolutely nuts[00:00:32]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:00:35]

Go out in the midday sun[00:00:36]

The Japanese don't care to[00:00:38]

The Chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:40]

Hindus and Argentines sleep[00:00:42]

Firmly from twelve to one[00:00:44]

But Englishmen detest a siesta[00:00:45]

In the Philippines[00:00:49]

There are lovely screens[00:00:50]

To protect you from the glare[00:00:50]

In the Malay states[00:00:52]

There are hats like plates[00:00:53]

Which the Britishers won't wear[00:00:54]

At twelve noon the natives swoon and[00:00:56]

No further work is done[00:00:58]

But Mad Dogs and Englishmen[00:00:59]

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

It's such a surprise for[00:01:10]

The Eastern eyes to see[00:01:12]

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

They're quite impervious to heat[00:01:15]

When the white man rides[00:01:17]

Every native hides in glee[00:01:18]

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

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

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

When the English claim the earth[00:01:33]

That they give rise to[00:01:35]

Such hilarity and mirth[00:01:36]

Mad Dogs and Englishmen[00:01:44]

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

The toughest Burmese bandit[00:01:48]

Can never understand it[00:01:49]

In Rangoon the heat of noon is[00:01:51]

Just what the natives shun[00:01:53]

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

And lie down[00:01:57]

In the jungle town where[00:01:59]

The sun beats down[00:02:00]

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

The English garb of the English[00:02:02]

Sahib merely gets a bit more creased[00:02:04]

In Bangkok at twelve o'clock[00:02:06]

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

But mad dogs and Englishmen[00:02:09]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:11]

Mad Dogs and Englishmen[00:02:13]

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

The smallest Malay rabbit[00:02:17]

Deplores this foolish habit[00:02:19]

In Hong Kong they strike a gong[00:02:20]

And fire off a noonday gun[00:02:22]

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 lie down and snooze[00:02:31]

For there's nothing else to do[00:02:33]

In Bengal to move at all[00:02:35]

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[00:02:43]

Out in the midday[00:02:44]

Out in the midday[00:02:45]

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