Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]

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 perspire[00:00:12]

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

Because the sun is much too sultry and one must avoid[00:00:18]

Its ultry violet ray[00:00:20]

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

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

Mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:00:36]

The japanese don't care to the chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:39]

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

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

In the philippines there are lovely screens[00:00:49]

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

In the malay states there are hats like plates[00:00:53]

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

At twelve noon the natives swoon and[00:00:57]

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

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

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 will[00:01:21]

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

It seems such a shame the english claim the earth[00:01:32]

That they give rise to such hilarity and mirth[00:01:36]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha[00:01:38]

Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu[00:01:39]

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey[00:01:42]

Mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:01:45]

The toughest burmese bandit can never understand it[00:01:48]

In rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun[00:01:52]

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

In the jungle town where the sun beats down[00:01:59]

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

The english garb of the english[00:02:03]

Sahib merely gets a bit more creased[00:02:05]

In bangkok at twelve o'clock they foam at the mouth and run[00:02:06]

But mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:02:10]

Mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:02:14]

The smallest malay rabbit deplores this foolish habit[00:02:17]

In hong kong they strike a gong and fire off a noonday gun[00:02:21]

To reprimand each inmate who's in late[00:02:25]

In the mangrove swamps where the python romps[00:02:28]

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

Even caribous lie down and snooze[00:02:32]

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

In bengal to move at all is seldom if ever done[00:02:36]

But mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday[00:02:39]

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[00:02:46]

Out in the midday sun[00:02:47]
