And be it understood,
He commands a right good crew.
CAPT.
I can hand, reef, and steer,
And ship a selvagee;
I am never known to quail
At the fury of a gale,
And I'm never, never sick at sea!

Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
For the hardy Captain of the Pinafore!

And I think it only right
To return the compliment.

And he thinks it's only right
To return the compliment.
CAPT.
I never, never use,
Whatever the emergency;
Though "Bother it" I may
Occasionally say,
I never use a big, big D--

For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
