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 (Kelsey Grammer) as a "last request" to perform the entire operetta to stall him before they get 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 & Bart:

Harldy 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!

* The lyric is actaully "greatly to his credit"
