H.M.S. Pinafore

H.M.S. Pinafore is a comic operetta by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. In one of the most memorable scenes in "Cape Feare", Bart asks Sideshow Bob as a "last request" to perform the entire operetta to stall the evil genius before the Simpsons get back to Springfield on a boat. It is the thirtieth track on the album Go Simpsonic with The Simpsons.

Lyrics

Sideshow Bob:

Well, Bart, any last requests?

Bart:

Well, there is one, but...Nah.

Sideshow Bob:

No, go on.

Bart:

Well, you have such a beautiful voice.

Sideshow Bob:

Guilty as charged.

Bart:

Uh-huh. I was wondering if you sing the entire score of the H.M.S. Pinafore.

Sideshow Bob:

Very well, Bart. I shall send you to Heaven before I send you to Hell!

We Sail the Ocean Blue

And a two and a three and

We Sail the Ocean Blue,

And our saucy ship's a beauty.

We're sober men and true,

And attentive to our duty.

I'm Called Little Buttercup

I'm called Little Buttercup, poor Little Buttercup,

Though I could never tell why.

I am the Captain of the Pinafore

What, never?

No, never!

What, never?

Sideshow Bob and Bart:

Hardly ever!

He's hardly ever sick at sea!

He is an Englishman

Sideshow Bob:

For he himself has said it,

And it's clearly to his credit,

That he is an Englishman!

He remains an Englishman!
