歌曲歌詞
The india that one read about
And may have been misled about
In one respect has kept itself intact
Though pukka sahib' traditions may have cracked
And thinned
The good old indian army's still a fact
That famous monumental man
The officer and gentleman
Still lives and breathes and functions from bombay to katmandu
At any moment one can glimpse
Matured or embryonic blimps'
Vivaciously speculating as to what became of who
Though eastern sounds may fascinate your ear
When west meets west you're always sure to hear
Whatever became of old bagot
I haven't seen him for a year
Is it true that young forbes had to marry that faggot
He met in the vale of kashmir
Have you had any news
Or that chap in the blues
Was it prosser or pyecroft or pym
He was stationed in simla or was it bengal
I know he got blind at a ball in nepal
And wrote several four-letter words on the wall
I wonder what happened to him
Whatever became of old shelley
Is it true that young briggs was cashiered
For riding quite nude on a push-bike through delhi
The day the new viceroy appeared
Have you had any word
Of that bloke in the third
Was it southerby sedgwick or sim
They had him thrown out of the club in bombay
For apart from his mess bill exceeding his pay
He took to pig-sticking in quite the wrong way
I wonder what happened to him
One must admit that by and large
Upholders of the british raj*
Don't shine in conversation as a breed
Though indian army officers can read
A bit
Their verbal wit-has rather run to seed
Their splendid insularity
And roguish jocularity
Was echoing through India when victoria was queen
In restaurants and dining-cars
In messes clubs and hotel bars
They try to maintain tradition in the way it's always been
Though worlds may change and nations disappear
Above the shrieking chaos you will hear
Whatever became of old tucker
Have you heard any word of young mills
Who ruptured himself at the end of a chukka
And had to be sent to the hills
They say that young lees
Had a go of d t's'
And his hopes of promotion are slim
According to stubbs who's a bit of a louse
The silly young blighter went out on a souse
And took two old tarts into government house
I wonder what happened to him
Whatever became of old archie
I hear he departed this life
After rounding up ten sacred cows in karachi
To welcome the governor's wife
D'you remember munroe
In the p a v o
He was tallish and mentally dim
The talk of heredity can't be quite true
He was dropped on his head by his ayah at two
I presume that by now he'll have reached g h q
I'm sure that's what happened to him
