Gilbert & Sullivan: HMS Pinafore
HMS Pinafore (or, The Lass that Loved a Sailor), Act I: Over the bright blue sea (Female Relatives of Sir Joseph Porter, Sailors, Captain Corcoran)
Over the bright blue sea
Comes Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.,
Wherever he may go,
Bang-bang the loud nine-pounders go!
Shout o'er the bright blue sea
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.
Shout o'er the bright blue sea
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.
Sir Joseph's barge is seen,
And its crowd of blushing beauty,
We hope he'll find us clean,
And attentive to our duty.
We sail, we sail the ocean blue,
And our saucy ship's a beauty.
We're sober, sober men and true
And attentive to our duty,
Sober, sober men and true.
We're smart and sober men,
And quite devoid of fear,
In all the Royal N,
None are so smart as we are.
Gaily tripping,
Lightly skipping,
Flock the maidens to the shipping.
Gaily tripping,
Lightly skipping,
Flock the maidens to the shipping.
Flags and guns and pennants dipping!
All the ladies love the shipping.
Sailors sprightly
Always rightly
Welcome ladies so politely.
Ladies who can smile so brightly,
Sailors welcome most politely, welcome most politely.
Sailors sprightly
Always rightly
Welcome ladies so politely.
Gaily tripping, Lightly skipping, (We're smart and sober men,)
Flock the maidens to the shipping, (And quite devoid of fear,)
Gaily tripping, Lightly skipping, (In all the Royal N)
Flock the maidens to the ship; (None are so smart as we are;)
Sailors sprightly, Always rightly (Ladies who can smile so brightly)
Welcome ladies so politely, (Sailors welcome most politely,)
So politely.
Gaily tripping
Lightly skipping
Sailors always welcome
Ladies most politely
Now give three cheers.
I'll lead the way
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
Comes Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.,
Wherever he may go,
Bang-bang the loud nine-pounders go!
Shout o'er the bright blue sea
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.
Shout o'er the bright blue sea
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.

And attentive to our duty,
Sober, sober men and true.

Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
