Mad Dogs And Englishmen - Danny Kaye

In Tropical climes there

Are certain times of day

When all the citizens retire

To take their clothes off and perspire

It's one of those rules

The greatest fools obey

Because the Sun is far too sultry

And one must avoid its ultry-violet

Rays

The natives grieve when the

White Men leave their huts

Because they're obviously

Definitely nuts

Mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the midday sun

The Japanese don't care to

The Chinese wouldn't dare to

Hindus and Argentines sleep

Firmly from twelve till one

But Englishmen detest a siesta

In the Philippines

They have lovely screens

To protect you from the

Glare

In the Malay States

There are hats like plates

Which the Britishers

Won't wear

At twelve noon the natives swoon

And no further work is done

But mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the midday sun

It's such a surprise

For the Eastern eyes to see

That though the English are effete

They're quite impervious to heat

When the White Man rides

Every native hides in glee

Because the simple creatures hope

He will impale his solar topi on a tree

Mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the midday sun

The toughest Burmese bandit

In Rangoon the heat of noon

Is just what the natives shun

They put their Scotch or

Rye down and lie down

In a jungle town where

The Sun beats down

To the rage of man and beast

The English garb

Of the English Sahib merely

Gets a bit more creased

In Bangkok at twelve o'clock

They foam at the mouth and run

But mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the midday

Go out in the midday

Go out in the midday sun
