Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Danny Kaye[00:00:00]

In Tropical climes there[00:00:08]

Are certain times of day[00:00:09]

When all the citizens retire[00:00:12]

To take their clothes off and perspire[00:00:14]

It's one of those rules[00:00:16]

The greatest fools obey[00:00:17]

Because the Sun is far too sultry[00:00:20]

And one must avoid its ultry-violet[00:00:22]

Rays[00:00:24]

The natives grieve when the[00:00:32]

White Men leave their huts[00:00:33]

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

Definitely nuts [00:00:37]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:00:40]

Go out in the midday sun[00:00:42]

The Japanese don't care to [00:00:44]

The Chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:46]

Hindus and Argentines sleep[00:00:48]

Firmly from twelve till one[00:00:50]

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

In the Philippines[00:00:56]

They have lovely screens[00:00:56]

To protect you from the[00:00:58]

Glare[00:00:59]

In the Malay States[00:00:59]

There are hats like plates[00:01:00]

Which the Britishers[00:01:01]

Won't wear[00:01:02]

At twelve noon the natives swoon[00:01:03]

And no further work is done[00:01:05]

But mad dogs and Englishmen[00:01:07]

Go out in the midday sun[00:01:09]

It's such a surprise[00:01:25]

For the Eastern eyes to see[00:01:26]

That though the English are effete [00:01:28]

They're quite impervious to heat[00:01:30]

When the White Man rides [00:01:33]

Every native hides in glee[00:01:34]

Because the simple creatures hope[00:01:36]

He will impale his solar topi on a tree[00:01:38]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:01:53]

Go out in the midday sun[00:01:54]

The toughest Burmese bandit[00:01:56]

In Rangoon the heat of noon[00:02:00]

Is just what the natives shun[00:02:02]

They put their Scotch or[00:02:04]

Rye down and lie down[00:02:06]

In a jungle town where[00:02:08]

The Sun beats down[00:02:09]

To the rage of man and beast[00:02:11]

The English garb[00:02:12]

Of the English Sahib merely[00:02:13]

Gets a bit more creased[00:02:14]

In Bangkok at twelve o'clock[00:02:16]

They foam at the mouth and run[00:02:18]

But mad dogs and Englishmen[00:02:20]

Go out in the midday[00:02:22]

Go out in the midday[00:02:23]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:24]
