When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an Shipbuilding 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 carefully
That now I am the Ruler of the Merchant Navy!

Sir Joseph Porter in HMS Pinafore the original. If you can find the video of Frankie Howard as Sir Joseph worth a look.
