| 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. |
During this the Crew have entered on tiptoe, listening attentive to the song.
| Sailors. |
| 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. |
Enter Sir Joseph's Female Relations. They dance round stage.
