DG Captain Corcoran, Moderator(?) of the Pinafore:
This is so undeniably funny that I almost knocked my :batcoffee: into
my keyboard,
But, Dan,
This is not about the Big, Big D--
It is about the Foo,
Which is highly offensive to ladies like me,
And should also be offensive to you.
I endeavor to annoy with poetry,
But I never, never, never say the Big, Big D,
Nor tolerate it well from gentlemen like thee,
And I cannot even spell the Foo.
So please back off from our Moderators,
Or you may soon hear from Trill's Alligators
(And don't you be saying, Who!?).
DG Bad language or abuse,
DG I never, never use,
DG Whatever the emergency;
DG Although bother it I may
DG Occasionally say,
DG I never use a big, big D--
So post the graphics of the tune right here
And we'll sing along with a big :girlcheer:
With a fine high-pitched girl cheer.
DG Crew:
DG What, never?
DG Captain Corcoran:
DG No, never.
DG Crew:
DG What, never?
DG Captain Corcoran:
DG Well, hardly ever.
Hardly ever? No, no--No never!
DG Crew:
DG He hardly ever swears a big, big D--
DG Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
DG For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
DG Then give three cheers, and one cheer more,
DG For the Captain of the Pinafore!
And hooray, and a huge :party: part-ee!
For the cheer so loud and hearty!
But never, never venture to chide our Marck,
For I will defend him to the last skylark,
I'll defend him to the last skylark!!

And where is your fine cut-line,
Your fine cut-line so fine--
The only f-word Trill can recognize
With her lovely Trilly pancake-Tribble eyes,
Is f-i-n-e, fine! Cut-line!!
