I Wonder What Happened to Him - Noel Coward/Norman Hackforth[00:00:00]

Written by：Noel Coward[00:00:02]

The India that we read about[00:00:10]

And may have been misled about[00:00:12]

In one respect has kept itself intact[00:00:14]

Though 'pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked[00:00:17]

And thinned[00:00:20]

The good old Indian army was a fact[00:00:20]

That famous monumental man[00:00:24]

The officer and gentleman[00:00:26]

Still lives and breathes and functions from Bombay to Katmandu[00:00:27]

At any moment one can glimpse[00:00:31]

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

Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who[00:00:34]

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

When West meets West you're always sure to hear[00:00:41]

Whatever became of old Bagot[00:00:46]

I haven't seen him for a year[00:00:48]

Is it true that young Forbes had to marry that faggot[00:00:50]

He met in the vale of Kashmir[00:00:52]

Have you had any news[00:00:54]

Or that chap in the blues[00:00:55]

Was it Prosser or Pyecroft or Pym[00:00:57]

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

But I know he got blind at a ball in Nepal[00:01:04]

And wrote several four letter words on the wall[00:01:06]

I wonder what happened to him[00:01:09]

Whatever became of old Shelley[00:01:13]

Is it true that young Briggs was cashiered[00:01:15]

For riding quite nude on a push bike through Delhi[00:01:18]

The day the new viceroy appeared[00:01:21]

Have you had any word[00:01:24]

Of that bloke in the 'third'[00:01:25]

Was it Southerby Sedgwick or sim[00:01:26]

They had him thrown out of the club in Bombay[00:01:28]

For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay[00:01:31]

He took to pig sticking in quite the wrong way[00:01:34]

I wonder what happened to him[00:01:37]

One must admit that by and large[00:01:47]

Upholders of the British Raj[00:01:49]

Don't shine in conversation as a breed[00:01:51]

Though Indian army officers can read[00:01:54]

A bit[00:01:57]

Their verbal wit has rather run to seed[00:01:57]

Their splendid insularity[00:02:01]

And roguish jocularity[00:02:02]

Was echoing through India when Victoria was queen[00:02:04]

In restaurants and dining cars[00:02:08]

In messes clubs and hotel bars[00:02:10]

They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been[00:02:12]

Though worlds may change and nations disappear[00:02:16]

Above the shrieking chaos you will hear[00:02:21]

Whatever became of old tucker[00:02:27]

Have you heard any word of young mills[00:02:30]

Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka[00:02:32]

And had to be sent to the hills[00:02:34]

They say that young lees[00:02:37]

Had a dose of D T's'[00:02:38]

And his hopes of promotion are slim[00:02:40]

According to Stubbs who's a bit of a louse[00:02:42]

The silly young blighter went out on a 'souse'[00:02:45]

And took two old tarts into government house[00:02:48]

I wonder what happened to him[00:02:51]

Whatever became of old keeling[00:02:55]

And frightened three nuns in a train in Darjeeling[00:02:59]

D'you remember Munroe[00:03:08]

In the p a v o[00:03:09]

He was tallish and mentally dim[00:03:10]

The talk of heredity can't be quite true[00:03:14]

He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two[00:03:17]

I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q[00:03:20]

I'm sure that's what happened to him[00:03:24]
