I met an illustrator with a pet alligator

Said he cried crocodile tears

and the vet bills were getting dear

But he knew of a loan shark with a home aquarium

I didn’t have a ticket, but he let me in

I didn’t have a ticket, he said just go in

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun

I knew a ventriloquist, but she lied through her teeth

Now I need some honesty, so she showed me the best policy

At the еnd of the day, it’s the start of a new onе

I’d be sitting on the grass with an eye on the beach

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun

Only mad dogs and Englishmen

Go out in the sun, the midday sun
