What's Going To Happen To The Tots - Noel Coward and Orchestra[00:00:00]
Life today is hectic[00:00:07]
Our world is running away[00:00:09]
Only the wise can recognize[00:00:11]
The process of decay[00:00:13]
Unhappily all our dialectic[00:00:14]
Is quite unable to say[00:00:17]
Whether we're on the beam or not[00:00:19]
Whether we'll rise supreme or not[00:00:21]
Whether this new regime or not[00:00:23]
Is leading us astray[00:00:25]
We all have frigidaires radios[00:00:26]
Television and movie shows[00:00:28]
To shield us from the ultimate abyss[00:00:30]
We have our daily bread neatly cut[00:00:34]
Every modern convenience but[00:00:36]
The question that confronts us all is this[00:00:38]
What's going to happen to the children[00:00:43]
When there aren't any more grown ups[00:00:46]
Having been injected with some rather peculiar glands[00:00:51]
Darling mum's gone platinum[00:00:54]
And dances to all the rumba bands[00:00:56]
The songs that she sings at twilight[00:00:58]
Would certainly be the highlight[00:01:00]
For some of those claques that elsa maxwell[00:01:02]
Takes around in yachts[00:01:04]
Rockabye rockabye rockabye my darlings[00:01:06]
Mother requires a few more shots[00:01:10]
Does it amuse the tiny mites[00:01:13]
To see their parents high as kites[00:01:15]
What's what's what's going to happen to the tots[00:01:17]
Life today's neurotic a ceaseless battle we wage[00:01:28]
Millions are spent to circumvent[00:01:32]
The march of middle age[00:01:34]
The fact that we grab each new narcotic[00:01:35]
Can only prove in the end[00:01:38]
Whether our hormones gel or not[00:01:40]
Whether our cells rebel or not[00:01:42]
Whether we're blown to hell or not[00:01:44]
We'll all be round the bend[00:01:46]
From taking benzedrine dexamyl[00:01:47]
Every possible sleeping pill[00:01:49]
To knock us out or knock us into shape[00:01:51]
We all have shots for this shots for that[00:01:55]
Shots for making us thin or fat[00:01:57]
But there's one problem that we can't escape[00:02:00]
What's going to happen to the children[00:02:04]
When there aren't any more grown ups[00:02:08]
Thanks to plastic surgery and uncle's abrupt demise[00:02:12]
Dear aunt rose has changed her nose[00:02:16]
But doesn't appear to realize[00:02:17]
The pleasures that once were heaven[00:02:19]
Look silly at sixty seven[00:02:21]
And youthful allure you can't procure[00:02:23]
In terms of perms and pots[00:02:25]
So lullaby lullaby lullaby my darlings[00:02:27]
Try not to scratch those large red spots[00:02:31]
Think of the shock when mummie's face[00:02:34]
Is lifted from it's proper place[00:02:36]
What's what's what's going to happen to the tots[00:02:38]
What's going to happen to the children[00:02:42]
When there aren't any more grown ups[00:02:45]
It's bizarre when grandmamma[00:02:50]
Without getting out of breath[00:02:52]
Starts to jive at eighty five and frightens the little[00:02:53]
Ones to death[00:02:56]
The police had to send a squad car[00:02:57]
When daddy got fried on vodka[00:02:59]
And tied a tweed coat round mummie's throat[00:03:01]
In several sailor's knots[00:03:03]
Hushabye hushabye hushabye my darlings[00:03:05]
Try not to fret and wet your cots[00:03:09]
One day you'll clench your tiny fists[00:03:12]
And murder your psychiatrists[00:03:15]
What's what's what's going to happen to the tots[00:03:18]
