《i Wonder What Happened To Him?》歌词

[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

[00:00:30] At any moment one can glimpse

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

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

[00:00:39] Though eastern sounds may fascinate your ear

[00:00:44] When west meets west you're always sure to hear

[00:00:49] Whatever became of old bagot

[00:00:52] I haven't seen him for a year

[00:00:55] Is it true that young forbes had to marry that faggot

[00:00:57] He met in the vale of kashmir

[00:01:01] Have you had any news

[00:01:02] Or that chap in the blues

[00:01:03] Was it prosser or pyecroft or pym

[00:01:08] He was stationed in simla or was it bengal

[00:01:12] I know he got blind at a ball in nepal

[00:01:16] And wrote several four letter words on the wall

[00:01:18] I wonder what happened to him

[00:01:23] Whatever became of old shelley

[00:01:25] Is it true that young briggs was cashiered

[00:01:28] For riding quite nude on a push bike through delhi

[00:01:31] The day the new viceroy appeared

[00:01:34] Have you had any word

[00:01:36] Of that bloke in the third

[00:01:39] Was it southerby sedgwick or sim

[00:01:41] They had him thrown out of the club in bombay

[00:01:46] For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay

[00:01:49] He took to pig sticking in quite the wrong way

[00:01:51] I wonder what happened to him

[00:02:00] One must admit that by and large

[00:02:02] Upholders of the british raj*

[00:02:04] Don't shine in conversation as a breed

[00:02:07] Though indian army officers can read

[00:02:10] A bit

[00:02:11] Their verbal wit has rather run to seed

[00:02:15] Their splendid insularity

[00:02:16] And roguish jocularity

[00:02:18] Was echoing through India when victoria was queen

[00:02:24] In restaurants and dining cars

[00:02:27] In messes clubs and hotel bars

[00:02:28] They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been

[00:02:32] Though worlds may change and nations disappear

[00:02:38] Above the shrieking chaos you will hear

[00:02:44] Whatever became of old tucker

[00:02:47] Have you heard any word of young mills

[00:02:50] Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka

[00:02:51] And had to be sent to the hills

[00:02:55] They say that young lees

[00:02:57] Had a go of d t's'

[00:02:59] And his hopes of promotion are slim

[00:03:03] According to stubbs who's a bit of a louse

[00:03:07] The silly young blighter went out on a souse

[00:03:10] And took two old tarts into government house

[00:03:12] I wonder what happened to him

[00:03:17] Whatever became of old archie

[00:03:20] I hear he departed this life

[00:03:23] After rounding up ten sacred cows in karachi

[00:03:26] To welcome the governor's wife

[00:03:29] D'you remember munroe

[00:03:31] In the p a v o

[00:03:34] He was tallish and mentally dim

[00:03:38] The talk of heredity can't be quite true

[00:03:42] He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two

[00:03:45] I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q

[00:03:46] I'm sure that's what happened to him
