《What’s Going To Happen To The Tots》歌词

[00:00:00] What's Going To Happen To The Tots - Noel Coward and Orchestra

[00:00:07] Life today is hectic

[00:00:09] Our world is running away

[00:00:11] Only the wise can recognize

[00:00:13] The process of decay

[00:00:14] Unhappily all our dialectic

[00:00:17] Is quite unable to say

[00:00:19] Whether we're on the beam or not

[00:00:21] Whether we'll rise supreme or not

[00:00:23] Whether this new regime or not

[00:00:25] Is leading us astray

[00:00:26] We all have frigidaires radios

[00:00:28] Television and movie shows

[00:00:30] To shield us from the ultimate abyss

[00:00:34] We have our daily bread neatly cut

[00:00:36] Every modern convenience but

[00:00:38] The question that confronts us all is this

[00:00:43] What's going to happen to the children

[00:00:46] When there aren't any more grown ups

[00:00:51] Having been injected with some rather peculiar glands

[00:00:54] Darling mum's gone platinum

[00:00:56] And dances to all the rumba bands

[00:00:58] The songs that she sings at twilight

[00:01:00] Would certainly be the highlight

[00:01:02] For some of those claques that elsa maxwell

[00:01:04] Takes around in yachts

[00:01:06] Rockabye rockabye rockabye my darlings

[00:01:10] Mother requires a few more shots

[00:01:13] Does it amuse the tiny mites

[00:01:15] To see their parents high as kites

[00:01:17] What's what's what's going to happen to the tots

[00:01:28] Life today's neurotic a ceaseless battle we wage

[00:01:32] Millions are spent to circumvent

[00:01:34] The march of middle age

[00:01:35] The fact that we grab each new narcotic

[00:01:38] Can only prove in the end

[00:01:40] Whether our hormones gel or not

[00:01:42] Whether our cells rebel or not

[00:01:44] Whether we're blown to hell or not

[00:01:46] We'll all be round the bend

[00:01:47] From taking benzedrine dexamyl

[00:01:49] Every possible sleeping pill

[00:01:51] To knock us out or knock us into shape

[00:01:55] We all have shots for this shots for that

[00:01:57] Shots for making us thin or fat

[00:02:00] But there's one problem that we can't escape

[00:02:04] What's going to happen to the children

[00:02:08] When there aren't any more grown ups

[00:02:12] Thanks to plastic surgery and uncle's abrupt demise

[00:02:16] Dear aunt rose has changed her nose

[00:02:17] But doesn't appear to realize

[00:02:19] The pleasures that once were heaven

[00:02:21] Look silly at sixty seven

[00:02:23] And youthful allure you can't procure

[00:02:25] In terms of perms and pots

[00:02:27] So lullaby lullaby lullaby my darlings

[00:02:31] Try not to scratch those large red spots

[00:02:34] Think of the shock when mummie's face

[00:02:36] Is lifted from it's proper place

[00:02:38] What's what's what's going to happen to the tots

[00:02:42] What's going to happen to the children

[00:02:45] When there aren't any more grown ups

[00:02:50] It's bizarre when grandmamma

[00:02:52] Without getting out of breath

[00:02:53] Starts to jive at eighty five and frightens the little

[00:02:56] Ones to death

[00:02:57] The police had to send a squad car

[00:02:59] When daddy got fried on vodka

[00:03:01] And tied a tweed coat round mummie's throat

[00:03:03] In several sailor's knots

[00:03:05] Hushabye hushabye hushabye my darlings

[00:03:09] Try not to fret and wet your cots

[00:03:12] One day you'll clench your tiny fists

[00:03:15] And murder your psychiatrists

[00:03:18] What's what's what's going to happen to the tots
