When I Was A Lad (当我还是个小伙子) - Henry A Lytton/George Baker[00:00:00]

When I was a lad I served a term[00:00:13]

As office boy to an Attorney's firm[00:00:15]

I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor[00:00:18]

I polished up the handle of the big front door[00:00:20]

He polished up the handle of the big front door[00:00:22]

I polished up that handle so carefully[00:00:24]

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:00:27]

He polished up that handle so carefully[00:00:29]

That now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:00:31]

As office boy I made such a mark[00:00:36]

That they gave me the post of a junior clerk[00:00:38]

I served the writs with a smile so bland[00:00:40]

I copied all the letters in a big round hand[00:00:43]

He copied all the letters in a big round hand[00:00:45]

I copied all the letters in a hand so free[00:00:47]

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:00:50]

He copied all the letters in a hand so free[00:00:52]

That now he is the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:00:54]

In serving writs I made such a name[00:00:59]

That an articled clerk I soon became[00:01:01]

I wore clean collars and a brand-new suit[00:01:03]

For the pass examination at the Institute[00:01:06]

For the pass examination at the Institute[00:01:08]

That pass examination did so well for me[00:01:10]

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:01:12]

That pass examination did so well for he[00:01:15]

That now he is the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:01:17]

Of legal knowledge I acquired such a grip[00:01:21]

That they took me into the partnership[00:01:24]

And that junior partnership I ween[00:01:26]

Was the only ship I ever had seen[00:01:28]

Was the only ship he ever had seen[00:01:30]

That kind of ship so suited me[00:01:33]

That now I am the ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:01:35]

That kind of ship so suited he[00:01:37]

That now he is the ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:01:39]

I grew so rich that I was sent[00:01:44]

By a pocket borough into Parliament[00:01:46]

I always voted at my party's call[00:01:48]

I never thought of thinking for myself at all[00:01:50]

He never thought of thinking for himself at all[00:01:53]

I thought so little they rewarded me[00:01:55]

By making me the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:01:57]

He thought so little they rewarded he[00:02:00]

By making him the Ruler of the Queen's Navee[00:02:02]

Now landsmen all whoever you may be[00:02:07]

If you want to rise to the top of the tree[00:02:09]

If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool[00:02:11]

Be careful to be guided by this golden rule[00:02:13]

Be careful to be guided by this golden rule[00:02:16]

Stick close to your desks and never go to sea[00:02:19]

And you all may be rulers of the Queen's Navee[00:02:23]

Stick close to your desks and never go to sea[00:02:26]

And you all may be rulers of the Queen's Navee[00:02:28]
