Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Six Hits/a Miss[00:00:00]

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

When all the citizens retire[00:00:11]

To tear their clothes off and perspire[00:00:13]

It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey[00:00:15]

Because the sun is much too sultry[00:00:18]

And one must avoid its ultra violet ray[00:00:20]

The native grieve when the white[00:00:29]

Men leave their huts[00:00:30]

Because they're obviously definitely nuts[00:00:32]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:00:36]

Go out in the midday sun[00:00:37]

The Japanese don't care to[00:00:39]

The Chinese wouldn't dare to[00:00:41]

Hindoos and Argentines sleep[00:00:43]

Firmly from twelve to one[00:00:44]

But Englishmen detest a siesta[00:00:46]

In the Philippines[00:00:49]

There are lovely screens[00:00:50]

To protect you from the glare[00:00:51]

In the Malay States[00:00:52]

There are hats like plates[00:00:53]

Which the Britishers won't wear[00:00:55]

At twelve noon the natives swoon[00:00:56]

And no further work is done[00:00:58]

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

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

It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see[00:01:11]

That though the English are effete[00:01:14]

They're quite impervious to heat[00:01:15]

When the white man rides every native hides in glee[00:01:17]

Because the simple creatures hope he[00:01:21]

Will impale his solar topee on a tree[00:01:23]

It seems such a shame[00:01:32]

When the English claim[00:01:33]

The earth give rise to[00:01:35]

Such hilarity and mirth[00:01:36]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha[00:01:37]

Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu[00:01:39]

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey[00:01:41]

En en en en en en en[00:01:42]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:01:44]

Go out in the midday sun[00:01:46]

The toughest Burmese bandit[00:01:47]

Can never understand it[00:01:49]

In Rangoon the heat of noon[00:01:51]

Is just what the natives shun[00:01:53]

They put their Scotch or Rye down[00:01:55]

And lie down in a jungle town[00:01:56]

Where the sun beats down[00:01:59]

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

The English garb[00:02:02]

Of the English sahib[00:02:03]

Merely gets a bit more creased[00:02:03]

In Bangkok[00:02:05]

At twelve o'clock[00:02:06]

They foam at the mouth and run[00:02:07]

Slut mad dogs and Englishmen[00:02:09]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:11]

Mad dogs and Englishmen[00:02:13]

Go out in the midday sun[00:02:14]

The smallest Malay rabbit[00:02:16]

Deplores this stupid habit in Hongkong[00:02:18]

They strike a gong and[00:02:21]

Fire off a noonday gun[00:02:22]

To reprimand each inmate[00:02:23]

Who's in late[00:02:25]

In the mangrove swamps[00:02:27]

Where the python romps[00:02:28]

There is peace from twelve till two[00:02:29]

Even caribous[00:02:31]

Lie around and snooze[00:02:31]

For there's nothing else[00:02:33]

To do in Bengal to move[00:02:33]

At all is seldom if ever done[00:02:36]

But mad dogs and Englishmen[00:02:38]

Go out in the midday[00:02:39]

Out in the midday[00:02:41]

Out in the midday[00:02:42]

Out in the midday[00:02:42]

Out in the midday[00:02:43]

Out in the midday[00:02:44]

Out in the midday sun[00:02:45]
