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

In tropical climes there are certain times of day[00:00:08]

When all the citizens retire to take their clothes off and perspire[00:00:12]

It's one of those rules the greatest fools obey[00:00:16]

Because the sun is far too sultry and one must avoid its ultry violet[00:00:19]

The natives grieve when the English leave their huts[00:00:32]

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

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:00:40]

The Japanese don't care to the Chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:44]

Hindus and Argentines sleep firmly from twelve till one[00:00:48]

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

In the Philippines they have lovely screens to protect you from the glare[00:00:56]

In the Malay States there are hats like plates[00:00:59]

Which the Britishers won't wear[00:01:01]

At twelve noon the natives swoon and no further work is done[00:01:03]

But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:01:07]

It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see[00:01:25]

That though the English are effete they're quite impervious to heat[00:01:28]

When the white man rides every native hides in glee[00:01:33]

Because the simple creatures hope he will impale his solar topi on a tree[00:01:36]

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun[00:01:53]

The smallest Malay rabbit deplores this stupid habit[00:01:57]

In Rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun[00:02:01]

They put their Scotch or Rye down and lie down[00:02:04]

In a jungle town where the Sun beats down[00:02:08]

There is peace from twelve till two[00:02:10]

Even caribous lie around and snooze for there's nothing else to do[00:02:12]

In Bangkok at twelve o'clock they foam at the mouth and run[00:02:16]

But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday[00:02:20]

Out in the midday[00:02:23]

Out in the midday sun[00:02:24]
