[00:00.00]Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noel Coward
[00:07.09]In tropical climes there are certain times of day
[00:10.11]When all the citizens retire
[00:11.85]To tear their clothes off and perspire
[00:13.91]It's one of those rules that the greatest fools obey
[00:16.73]Because the sun is much too sultry
[00:18.65]And one must avoid it's ultra violet ray
[00:22.42]Papalaka papalaka papalaka boo
[00:25.51]Digariga digariga digariga doo
[00:27.19]The native grieve when the white
[00:28.60]Men leave their huts because
[00:30.33]They're obviously definitely nuts
[00:34.17]Mad dogs and englishmen
[00:35.73]Go out in the midday sun
[00:37.39]The japanese don't care to
[00:38.93]The chinese wouldn't dare to
[00:40.86]Hindoos and argentines sleep
[00:42.66]Firmly from twelve to one
[00:43.91]But englishmen detest a siesta
[00:47.02]In the philippines there are lovely screens
[00:49.02]To protect you from the glare
[00:50.45]In the malay states
[00:51.45]There are hats like plates which the britishers won't wear
[00:53.96]At twelve noon the natives swoon
[00:55.74]And no further work is done
[00:57.34]But mad dogs and englishmen
[00:58.89]Go out in the midday sun
[01:07.18]It's such a surprise for the eastern eyes to see
[01:10.32]That though the english are effete
[01:11.95]They're quite impervious to heat
[01:14.15]When the white man rides every native hides in glee
[01:17.07]Because the simple creatures hope he
[01:18.86]Will impale his solar topee on a tree
[01:22.64]Habaninny habaninny habaninny haa
[01:24.45]It's same native
[01:25.91]Digariga digariga digariga doo
[01:27.26]It seems such a shame
[01:28.26]When the english claim
[01:29.18]The earth that they give rise to
[01:31.64]Such hilarity and mirth
[01:35.31]Ahhhhh
[01:36.02]Mad dogs and englishmen
[01:37.67]Go out in the midday sun
[01:39.33]The toughest burmese bandit
[01:41.00]Can never understand it
[01:42.62]In rangoon the heat of noon
[01:43.88]Is just what the natives shun
[01:45.88]They put their scotch or rye down
[01:47.49]And lie down in a jungle town
[01:50.04]Where the sun beats down
[01:50.90]To the rage of man and beast
[01:52.49]The english garb
[01:53.37]Of the english sahib
[01:54.18]Merely gets a bit more creased
[01:55.76]In bangkok
[01:56.67]At twelve o'clock
[01:57.68]They foam at the mouth and run
[01:59.27]Slut mad dogs and englishmen
[02:00.96]Go out in the midday sun
[02:02.86]Mad dogs and englishmen
[02:04.45]Go out in the midday sun
[02:05.90]The smallest malay rabbit deplores this stupid habit in hongkong
[02:09.76]They strike a gong and
[02:10.86]Fire off a noonday gun
[02:12.49]To reprimand each inmate
[02:14.15]Who's in late
[02:15.62]In the mangrove swamps
[02:16.74]Where the python romps
[02:17.38]There is peace from twelve till two
[02:19.16]Even caribous
[02:20.00]Lie around and snooze
[02:20.83]For there's nothing else
[02:21.83]To do in bengal to move
[02:24.23]At all is seldom if ever done
[02:28.60]But mad dogs and englishmen
[02:30.39]Go out in the midday
[02:31.50]Out in the midday
[02:32.32]Out in the midday
[02:33.15]Out in the midday
[02:33.94]Out in the midday
[02:34.73]Out in the midday
[02:35.58]Out in the midday
[02:36.45]Sun
