作曲 : Arthur Sullivan
When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an attorney's firm.
I cleaned the windows
And I swept the floor
And I polished up the handle Of the big front door
He polished up The handle of the big front door.
I polished up the handle so carefully,
That now I am the ruler Of the Queen's Navy.
He polished up the handle
So carefully, that now he is the ruler Of the Queen's Navy.
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.
He 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 Navy.
He copied all the letters
In a hand so free,
that now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navy.
In serving writs, I made such a name
That an articled clerk I soon became.
I wore clean collars
And a brand new suit
For the pass examination At the institute.
For the pass Examination at the institute.
That pass examination did so well for me
That now I am the ruler Of the Queen's Navy.
That pass examination
Did so well for he, that now
He is the ruler of the Queen's Navy.
Of legal knowledge
I acquired such a grip.
That they took me into the partnership.
And that junior partnership, I ween,
Was the only ship I ever had seen.
Was the only ship He ever had seen.
But that kind of ship so suited me,
That now I am the ruler Of the Queen's Navy!
But that kind of ship So suited he,
that now he is the ruler Of the Queen's Navy!
I grew so rich, that I was sent
By a pocket borough into Parliament.
I always voted at my party's call,
And I never thought of thinking
For myself at all.
He never thought of
Thinking for himself at all.
I thought so little, they rewarded me
By making me the ruler Of the Queen's Navy.
He though so little
They rewarded he, by making him the
Ruler of the Queen's Navy
Now landsmen all, whoever you may be,
If you want to rise
To the top of the tree,
If your soul isn't fettered
To an office stool
Be careful to be guided
By this golden rule.
Be careful to be guided
By this golden rule.
Stick close to your desks
And never go to sea.
And you all may be the rulers of the Queen's Navy!
Stick close to your desks
And never go to sea, and you all
May be rulers of the Queen's Navy.
