《The Stately Homes Of England》歌词

[00:00:00] The Stately Homes Of England - Noel Coward and Orchestra/Richard Murdoch
[00:00:05] Lord Elderley Lord Borrowmere
[00:00:07] Lord Sickert and Lord Camp
[00:00:10] With every virtue every grace
[00:00:12] Ah what avails the sceptred race
[00:00:16] Here you see the four of us
[00:00:19] And there are so many more of us
[00:00:21] Eldest sons that must succeed
[00:00:24] We know how Caesar conquered Gaul
[00:00:26] And how to whack a cricket ball
[00:00:28] Apart from this our education
[00:00:31] Lacks coordination
[00:00:33] Though we're young and tentative
[00:00:35] And rather riprepresentative
[00:00:37] Scions of a noble breed
[00:00:40] We are the products of
[00:00:42] Those homes serene and stately
[00:00:44] That only lately
[00:00:47] Seem to have run to seed
[00:00:49] The Stately Homes of England
[00:00:51] How beautiful they stand
[00:00:52] To prove the upper classes
[00:00:55] Have still the upper hand
[00:00:57] Though the fact
[00:00:57] That they have to be rebuilt
[00:00:59] And frequently mortgaged to the hilt
[00:01:01] Is inclined to take the gilt
[00:01:03] Off the gingerbread
[00:01:05] And certainly damps the fun
[00:01:07] Of the eldest son
[00:01:09] But still we won't be beaten
[00:01:11] We'll scrimp and scrape and save
[00:01:13] The playing fields of Eton
[00:01:15] Have made us frightfully brave
[00:01:17] And though if the Van Dycks have to go
[00:01:19] And we pawn the Bechstein Grand
[00:01:20] We'll stand by the stately homes of England
[00:01:29] Here you see
[00:01:31] The pick of us
[00:01:31] You may be heartily sick of us
[00:01:33] Still with sense
[00:01:34] We're all imbued
[00:01:36] Our homes command extensive views
[00:01:39] And with assistance from the Jews
[00:01:41] We have been able to dispose of
[00:01:43] Rows and rows and rows of
[00:01:45] Gainsboroughs and Lawrences
[00:01:48] Some sporting prints of Aunt Florence's
[00:01:50] Some of which were rather rude
[00:01:53] Although we sometimes flaunt
[00:01:54] Our family conventions
[00:01:57] Our good intentions
[00:01:59] Mustn't be misconstrued
[00:02:01] The Stately Homes of England
[00:02:03] We proudly represent
[00:02:05] We only keep them up for
[00:02:07] Americans to rent
[00:02:09] Though the pipes
[00:02:10] That supply the bathroom burst
[00:02:11] And the lavatory makes you fear the worst
[00:02:13] It was used by Charles the First
[00:02:16] Quite informally
[00:02:17] And later by George the Fourth
[00:02:19] On a journey north
[00:02:21] The State Apartments keep their
[00:02:23] Historical renown
[00:02:25] It's wiser not to sleep there
[00:02:27] In case they tumble down
[00:02:29] But still if they ever catch on fire
[00:02:31] Which with any luck they might
[00:02:33] We'll fight for the Stately Homes of England
[00:02:37] The Stately Homes of England
[00:02:39] Though rather in the lurch
[00:02:41] Provide a lot of chances
[00:02:43] For Psychical Research
[00:02:45] There's the ghost of a crazy younger son
[00:02:47] Who murdered in thirteen fifty-one
[00:02:49] An extremely rowdy nun
[00:02:52] Who resented it
[00:02:53] And people who come to call
[00:02:56] Meet her in the hall
[00:02:57] The baby in the guest wing
[00:03:00] Who crouches by the grate
[00:03:01] Was walled up in the west wing
[00:03:03] In fourteen twenty-eight
[00:03:05] If anyone spots
[00:03:06] The Queen of Scots
[00:03:07] In a hand-embroidered shroud
[00:03:09] We're proud of
[00:03:10] The Stately Homes of England
