Captain Corcoran comes on deck from his cabin and greets his crew. He boasts of his courage and well-mannered sensibilities while also complimenting the crew on their excellent performance

Captain I am the Captain of the Pinafore!
All And a right good Captain, too!

Captain You’re very, very good,
And, be it understood,
He commands a right good crew.

All We’re very, very good,
And, be it understood,
He commands a right good crew.

Captain Though related to a peer,
I can hand, reef, and steer,
Or ship a selvagee;

I am never known to quail
At the fury of a gale,
And I’m never, never sick at sea!

All What, never?
Captain No, never?
All What, never?
Captain Hardly ever?

All He’s hardly ever sick at sea.
Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
For the hardy Captain of the Pinafore!

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

Captain I do my best to satisfy you all –
All And with you we’re quite content.

Captain You’re exceedingly polite,
And I think it only right
To return the compliment.

All We’re exceedingly polite,
And he thinks it only right
To return the compliment.

Captain Bad language or abuse,
I never, never use,
Whatever the emergencey;

Though “bother it”, I may
Occasionally say,
I never use a big, big D –

All What, never?
Captain No, never!
All What, never?
Captain Hardly ever!

All 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.
