"Sir Joseph's Barge is Seen"

<div class="center">
Sir Joseph's Female Relations (offstage).  <br />
Over the bright blue sea <br />
Comes Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., <br />
Wherever he may go, <br />
Bang-bang the loud nine-pounders go! <br />
Shout o'er the bright blue sea <br />
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B. <br />
Shout o'er the bright blue sea <br />
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B. <br />
For Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B. 

''(During this the Crew have entered on tiptoe, listening attentive to the song.)''

Sailors. <br />
Sir Joseph's barge is seen, <br />
And its crowd of blushing beauty, <br />
We hope he'll find us clean, <br />
And attentive to our duty. <br />
We sail, we sail the ocean blue, <br />
And our saucy ship's a beauty. <br />
We're sober, sober men and true <br />
And attentive to our duty, <br />
Sober, sober men and true. <br />
We're smart and sober men, <br />
And quite devoid of fear, <br />
In all the Royal N. <br />
None are so smart as we are.

''(Enter Sir Joseph's Female Relations. They dance round stage.)''

Lightly skipping, <br />
Flock the maidens to the shipping. <br />
