《Mock Mozart》歌词

[00:00:00] Mock Mozart - Peter Ustinov/Richard Murdoch/Graham Moffatt

[00:00:01] Written by：Porter/Swann

[00:00:03] Now listen please

[00:00:05] I'll tell you confidentially

[00:00:07] How adcs

[00:00:08] Are trained in social grace

[00:00:11] They must be brave

[00:00:12] For daily

[00:00:12] They're called upon to save

[00:00:15] His excellency's face

[00:00:19] Any explanation

[00:00:20] Of the duties of an adc

[00:00:22] Proves the complications

[00:00:23] That are rife at government house

[00:00:25] Certain situations

[00:00:27] They could never let a lady see

[00:00:29] There are strange vibrations

[00:00:30] In the life of government house

[00:00:32] Truth is often sacrificed

[00:00:34] For reasons of diplomacy

[00:00:36] That of course you understand

[00:00:38] But all the same

[00:00:38] It must be grand

[00:00:40] To be

[00:00:40] So suave

[00:00:41] So calm

[00:00:42] So dignified

[00:00:43] If you knew what all that signified

[00:00:47] They

[00:00:49] Who break the ninth commandment every day

[00:00:52] Would hang their heads in shame and say

[00:00:55] 'Forgive

[00:00:55] We have

[00:00:56] To live

[00:00:57] Officially on feet of clay'

[00:01:01] Every minute

[00:01:02] We're made to sin it

[00:01:03] Is really very depraved

[00:01:05] But to hell with the lies we tell

[00:01:07] His excellency's honour must be saved

[00:01:16] His excellency regrets

[00:01:17] That owing to an attack of gout

[00:01:19] He really dare not venture out

[00:01:21] On saturday to dine

[00:01:23] His excellency regrets

[00:01:25] That owing to doctor's orders

[00:01:26] He cannot attend the mission tea

[00:01:28] And also must decline

[00:01:30] Your kind invitation

[00:01:32] For wednesday week

[00:01:33] A slight operation

[00:01:35] And poor circulation

[00:01:37] Combined with a weedy physique

[00:01:39] Has made him unable to speak

[00:01:40] All this in addition to what

[00:01:42] The doctors describe as a clot

[00:01:44] Which may disappear

[00:01:45] By the end of the year

[00:01:46] But may very possibly not

[00:01:48] His excellency regrets

[00:01:50] That owing to his exalted state

[00:01:52] He can no more associate

[00:01:54] With amiable brunettes

[00:01:56] Walk up walk up

[00:01:57] We're willing to take your bets

[00:01:59] That that's one of the principal things

[00:02:01] His excellency regrets

[00:02:02] So now you know

[00:02:04] About the diplomatic corps

[00:02:06] How it can so

[00:02:07] Corrupt the soul of youth

[00:02:10] What happen if

[00:02:11] Someday they gave the waiting world a whiff

[00:02:13] Of plain unvarnished truth

[00:02:17] His excellency regrets

[00:02:19] That failing a better alibi

[00:02:21] He must admit he'd rather die

[00:02:22] Than open your bazaar

[00:02:24] His excellency regrets

[00:02:26] That lacking enough official scope

[00:02:28] He can't disband the band of hope

[00:02:30] No matter where they are

[00:02:31] He frankly despises

[00:02:33] The people he rules

[00:02:35] His gorge also rises

[00:02:37] When giving the prizes

[00:02:38] At co educational schools

[00:02:40] To rows of illiterate fools

[00:02:42] And if you should write in the book

[00:02:44] He'll give you a murderous look

[00:02:46] For it ruins his day

[00:02:47] To be taken away

[00:02:48] From his rod and his line and his hook

[00:02:50] His excellency regrets

[00:02:52] He hasn't enough to run the house

[00:02:54] Or pay the staff or feed a mouse

[00:02:55] Upon the pay he gets

[00:02:57] Hey ho hey ho

[00:02:59] He's up to his ears in debts

[00:03:01] But that's one of the least of the things his excellency regrets
