| Captain. |
| I do my best to satisfy you all — |
| Chorus. |
| And with you we're quite content. |
| Captain. |
| You're exceedingly polite, And I think it only right To return the compliment. |
| Chorus. |
| We're exceedingly polite, And he thinks it's only right To return the compliment. |
| Captain. |
| Bad language or abuse, I never, never use, Whatever the emergency; Though "bother it" I may Occasionally say, I never use a big, big D — |
| Chorus. |
| What, never? |
| Captain. |
| No, never! |
| Chorus. |
| What, never? |
| Captain. |
| Hardly ever! |
| Chorus. |
| Hardly ever swears a big, big D — Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore! Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the Captain of the Pinafore! |
After song exeunt all but Captain.
