H.M.S. "PINAFORE"

I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor,

And I polished up the handle of the big front door.
I polished up that handle so successfullee
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee.

As office-boy I made such a mark
That they gave me the post of a junior clerk;
I served the writs with a smile so bland,
And I copied all the letters in a big round hand.
I copied all the letters in a hand so free

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee.
