I wonder What Happened to Him - Noel Coward[00:00:00]

Written by：Noel Coward[00:00:02]

The India that we read about[00:00:08]

And may have been misled about[00:00:10]

In one respect has kept itself intact[00:00:12]

Though 'pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked[00:00:15]

And thinned[00:00:18]

The good old Indian army was a fact[00:00:19]

That famous monumental man[00:00:23]

The officer and gentleman[00:00:24]

Still lives and breathes and functions from Bombay to Katmandu[00:00:26]

At any moment one can glimpse[00:00:30]

Matured or embryonic 'blimps'[00:00:32]

Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who[00:00:35]

Though Eastern sounds may fascinate your ear[00:00:38]

When West meets West you're always sure to hear[00:00:43]

Whatever became of old Bagot[00:00:49]

I haven't seen him for a year[00:00:51]

Is it true that young Forbes had to marry that faggot[00:00:53]

He met in the vale of Kashmir[00:00:56]

Have you had any news[00:00:58]

Or that chap in the blues[00:00:59]

Was it Southerby Sedgwick or Sim[00:01:00]

He was stationed in Simla or was it Bengal[00:01:04]

But I know he got blind at a ball in Nepal[00:01:08]

And wrote several four letter words on the wall[00:01:11]

I wonder what happened to him[00:01:13]

Whatever became of old Shelley[00:01:18]

Is it true that young Briggs was cashiered[00:01:21]

For riding quite nude on a push bike through Delhi[00:01:24]

The day the new viceroy appeared[00:01:26]

Have you had any word[00:01:29]

Of that bloke in the 'third'[00:01:30]

Was it Prosser or Pyecroft or Pym[00:01:31]

They had him thrown out of the club in Bombay[00:01:36]

For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay[00:01:38]

He took to pig sticking in quite the wrong way[00:01:42]

I wonder what happened to him[00:01:45]

One must admit that by and large[00:01:50]

Upholders of the British Raj[00:01:51]

Don't shine in conversation as a breed[00:01:53]

Though Indian army officers can read[00:01:57]

A bit[00:01:59]

Their verbal wit has rather run to seed[00:02:00]

Their splendid insularity[00:02:04]

And roguish jocularity[00:02:06]

Was echoing through India when Victoria was queen[00:02:08]

In restaurants and dining cars[00:02:11]

In messes clubs and hotel bars[00:02:14]

They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been[00:02:17]

Though worlds may change and nations disappear[00:02:21]

Above the shrieking chaos you will hear[00:02:27]

Whatever became of old tucker[00:02:33]

Have you heard any word of young mills[00:02:36]

Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka[00:02:38]

And had to be sent to the hills[00:02:41]

They say that young lees[00:02:43]

Had a dose of D T's'[00:02:45]

And his hopes of promotion are slim[00:02:47]

According to Stubbs who's a bit of a louse[00:02:50]

The silly young blighter went out on a 'souse'[00:02:53]

And took two old tarts into government house[00:02:56]

I wonder what happened to him[00:02:59]

Whatever became of old Archie[00:03:04]

I hear he departed this life[00:03:06]

After rounding up ten sacred cows in Karachi[00:03:09]

To welcome the Governor's wife[00:03:12]

D'you remember Munroe[00:03:15]

In the p a v o[00:03:16]

He was tallish and mentally dim[00:03:18]

The talk of heredity can't be quite true[00:03:21]

He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two[00:03:24]

I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q[00:03:28]

I'm sure that's what happened to him[00:03:32]
