There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
They're out of sorts in sunderland[00:00:11]
And terribly 'cross in kent[00:00:13]
They're dull in hull[00:00:15]
And the isle of mull[00:00:16]
Is seething with discontent[00:00:17]
They're nervous in northumberland[00:00:19]
And devon is down the drain[00:00:21]
They're filled with wrath[00:00:23]
On the firth of forth[00:00:24]
And sullen on salisbury plain[00:00:25]
In dublin they're depressed lads[00:00:26]
Maybe because they're celts[00:00:28]
For drake is going west lads[00:00:31]
And so is everyone else[00:00:34]
Hurray hurray hurray[00:00:36]
Misery's on the way[00:00:38]
There are bad times just around the corner[00:00:40]
There are dark clouds hurtling through the sky[00:00:44]
And it's no good whining[00:00:48]
About a silver lining[00:00:50]
For we know from experience that they won't roll by[00:00:52]
With a scowl and a frown[00:00:56]
We'll keep our peckers down[00:00:58]
And prepare for depression and doom and dread[00:01:00]
We're going to unpack our troubles from our old kit bag[00:01:03]
And wait until we drop down dead[00:01:07]
There are bad times just around the corner[00:01:11]
The horizon's gloomy as can be[00:01:15]
There are black birds over[00:01:19]
The grayish cliffs of dover[00:01:21]
And the rats are preparing to leave the bbc[00:01:23]
We're an unhappy breed[00:01:27]
And very bored indeed[00:01:29]
When reminded of something that nelson said[00:01:31]
And while the press and the politicians nag nag nag[00:01:34]
We'll wait until we drop down dead[00:01:39]
From colwyn bay to kettering[00:01:46]
They're sobbing themselves to sleep[00:01:48]
The shrieks and wails[00:01:50]
In the yorkshire dales[00:01:51]
Have even depressed the sheep[00:01:52]
In rather vulgar lettering[00:01:54]
A very disgruntled group[00:01:56]
Have posted bills[00:01:58]
On the cotswold hills[00:01:59]
To prove that we're in the soup[00:02:00]
While begging kipling's pardon[00:02:02]
There's one thing we know for sure[00:02:04]
If England is a garden[00:02:06]
We ought to have more manure[00:02:10]
Hurray hurray hurray[00:02:12]
Suffering and dismay[00:02:14]
There are bad times just around the corner[00:02:16]
And the outlook's absolutely vile[00:02:20]
There are home fires smoking[00:02:24]
From windermere to woking[00:02:26]
And we're not going to tighten our belts and smile[00:02:28]
Smile smile[00:02:31]
At the sound of a shot[00:02:32]
We'd just as soon as not[00:02:34]
Take a hot water bottle and go to bed[00:02:36]
We're going to un tense our muscles till they sag[00:02:39]
Sag sag[00:02:42]
And wait until we drop down dead[00:02:44]
There are bad times just around the corner[00:02:47]
We can all look forward to despair[00:02:51]
It's as clear as crystal[00:02:55]
From bridlington to bristol[00:02:57]
That we can't save democracy and we don't much care[00:02:59]
If the reds and the pinks[00:03:03]
Believe that England stinks[00:03:05]
And that world revolution is bound to spread[00:03:07]
We'd better all learn the lyrics of the old 'red flag'[00:03:10]
And wait until we drop down dead[00:03:15]
A likely story[00:03:17]
Land of hope and glory[00:03:19]
Wait until we drop down dead[00:03:21]
