HEN I was a lad I served a term As office boy to an Attorney's firm. I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor, And I polished up the handle of the big front door.
 * I polished up that handle so successfullee
 * That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!

As office boy I made such a mark That they gave me the post of a junior clerk. I served the writs with a smile so bland, And I copied all the letters in a big round hand
 * I copied all the letters in a hand so free,
 * That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee
