I'm The Greatest Captain

This is a parody of "Captain of the Pinafore" (also known as "My Gallant Crew" and "The Captain's Song") from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore". It was performed by Stewie in FG301 The Thin White Line.
Lyrics from The Thin White Line:
Stewie: I'm the greatest captain of the queen's navy
Sailors: And your record will stand as proof.
Stewie: Be it galleon or freighter,
I'm an expert navigator.
Sailors: And you're also a world class poof.
Stewie: My manner quite effete
Is mistaken on the street
For a sailor who can pirouette on cue.
Well despite your point of view,
I can thrill a girl or two...
But I'd rather get it on with you!
Sailors: Ha Ha Ha!
Original lyrics from "H.M.S. Pinafore":
(Sung in Act One upon Captain Corcoran's entrance)
Captain (recit.): My gallant crew, good morning!
Sailors: Sir, good morning!
Captain: I hope you're all quite well!
Sailors: Quite well, and you sir?
Captain: I am in reasonable health,
And happy to meet you all once more!
Sailors: You do us proud sir!
Captain: I am the captain of the Pinafore.
Sailors: And a right good captain too!
Captain: You're very, very good,
And be it understood,
I command a right good crew.
Sailors: We're very, very good,
And be it understood,
He commands a right good crew!
Captain: Though related to a peer,
I can hand, reef, and steer,
Or ship a selvagee,
I am never known to quail
At the fury of a gale,
And I'm never, never sick at sea!
Sailors: What, never?
Captain: No, never!
Sailors: What, never?
Captain: Well, hardly ever!
Sailors: He's hardly ever sick at sea!
Then give three cheers and one cheer more
For the hardy captain of the Pinafore!
Then give three cheers and one cheer more
For the captain of the Pinafore!
Captain: I do my best to satisfy you all.
Sailors: And with you we are quite content!
Captain: You're exceedingly polite,
And I think it only right
To return the compliment.
Sailors: We're exceedingly polite,
And he thinks it only right
To return the compliment.
Captain: Bad language or abuse
I never, never use,
Whatever the emergency.
Though, "Bother it!" I may
Occasionally say,
I never use a big, big "D".
Sailors: What, never?
Captain: No, never!
Sailors: What, never?
Captain: Well, hardly ever!
Sailors: Hardly ever swears a big, big "D"!
Then give three cheers and one cheer more
For the well-bred captain of the Pinafore!
Then give three cheers and one cheer more
For the captain of the Pinafore!
