SCENE — Quarter-deck of H.M.S. Pinafore. Sailors, led by Boatswain, discovered cleaning brasswork, splicing rope, etc.

Basses. We sail the ocean blue, And our saucy ship's a beauty; We're sober men and true, And attentive to our duty. All. When the balls whistle free O'er the bright blue sea, We stand to our guns all day; When at anchor we ride On the Portsmouth tide, We have plenty of time for play.

Opening Scene, 1960
