《I Wonder What Happened To Him》歌词

[00:00:02] I Wonder What Happened To Him - Noel Coward and Orchestra

[00:00:08] The india that one read about

[00:00:10] And may have been misled about

[00:00:11] In one respect has kept itself intact

[00:00:15] Though pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked

[00:00:18] And thinned

[00:00:19] The good old indian army's still a fact

[00:00:22] That famous monumental man

[00:00:24] The officer and gentleman

[00:00:26] Still lives and breathes and functions from bombay to katmandu

[00:00:29] At any moment one can glimpse

[00:00:32] Matured or embryonic blimps'

[00:00:34] Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who

[00:00:38] Though eastern sounds may fascinate your ear

[00:00:42] When west meets west you're always sure to hear

[00:00:48] Whatever became of old bagot

[00:00:50] I haven't seen him for a year

[00:00:53] Is it true that young forbes had to marry that faggot

[00:00:55] He met in the vale of kashmir

[00:00:58] Have you had any news

[00:00:59] Or that chap in the blues

[00:01:00] Was it prosser or pyecroft or pym

[00:01:03] He was stationed in simla or was it bengal

[00:01:07] I know he got blind at a ball in nepal

[00:01:11] And wrote several four-letter words on the wall

[00:01:13] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:18] Whatever became of old shelley

[00:01:20] Is it true that young briggs was cashiered

[00:01:23] For riding quite nude on a push-bike through delhi

[00:01:26] The day the new viceroy appeared

[00:01:29] Have you had any word

[00:01:29] Of that bloke in the third

[00:01:31] Was it southerby sedgwick or sim

[00:01:35] They had him thrown out of the club in bombay

[00:01:38] For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay

[00:01:42] He took to pig-sticking in quite the wrong way

[00:01:44] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:49] One must admit that by and large

[00:01:51] Upholders of the british raj*

[00:01:53] Don't shine in conversation as a breed

[00:01:57] Though indian army officers can read

[00:01:59] A bit

[00:02:00] Their verbal wit-has rather run to seed

[00:02:04] Their splendid insularity

[00:02:06] And roguish jocularity

[00:02:08] Was echoing through India when victoria was queen

[00:02:11] In restaurants and dining-cars

[00:02:14] In messes clubs and hotel bars

[00:02:17] They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been

[00:02:21] Though worlds may change and nations disappear

[00:02:27] Above the shrieking chaos you will hear

[00:02:33] Whatever became of old tucker

[00:02:36] Have you heard any word of young mills

[00:02:39] Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka

[00:02:40] And had to be sent to the hills

[00:02:43] They say that young lees

[00:02:45] Had a go of d t's'

[00:02:47] And his hopes of promotion are slim

[00:02:50] According to stubbs who's a bit of a louse

[00:02:53] The silly young blighter went out on a souse

[00:02:56] And took two old tarts into government house

[00:02:59] I wonder what happened to him

[00:03:04] Whatever became of old archie

[00:03:06] I hear he departed this life

[00:03:09] After rounding up ten sacred cows in karachi

[00:03:12] To welcome the governor's wife

[00:03:15] D'you remember munroe

[00:03:17] In the p a v o

[00:03:18] He was tallish and mentally dim

[00:03:21] The talk of heredity can't be quite true

[00:03:24] He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two

[00:03:28] I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q

[00:03:32] I'm sure that's what happened to him
