I copied all the letters in a hand so free,

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee.

Chorus.—He copied, etc.

In serving writs I made such a name

That an articled clerk I soon became;

I wore clean collars and a brand-new suit

For the pass examination at the Institute.

And that pass examination did so well for me,

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!

Chorus.—And that pass examination, etc.
