      When I was a lad, I served a term
      As an office boy to an attorney’s firm.
      I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor,
      and I polished up the handle on the big front door.

      he polished up the handle on the big front door

      I polished up the handle so carefully, That now I am the ruler of the Queen’s Navy.

      He polished up the handle so carefully, That now he is the ruler of the Queen’s Navy.
