The When Frederic Was a Little Lad Lyricsby Pirates of Penzance Cast. From Pirates Of Penzance, The The When Frederic Was a Little Lad by Pirates of Penzance Cast Ruth. Alice Barnett as Ruth (1880) When Frederic was a little lad He proved so brave and daring, His father thought he'd 'prentice him To some career seafaring. I was, alas! his nurserymaid, And so it fell to my lot To take and bind the promising boy Apprentice to a pilot – A life not bad for a hardy lad, Though surely not a high lot, Though I’m a nurse, you might do worse Than make your boy a pilot. Rosina Brandram as Ruth (1901) I was a stupid nurserymaid, On breakers always steering, And I did not catch the word aright, Through being hard of hearing; Mistaking my instructions, Which within my brain did gyrate, I took and bound this promising boy Apprentice to a pirate. A sad mistake it was to make And doom him to a vile lot. I bound him to a pirate – you – Instead of to a pilot. I soon found out, beyond all doubt, The scope of this disaster, But I hadn’t the face to return to my place, And break it to my master. A nurserymaid is not afraid Of what you people call work, So I made up my mind to go as a kind Of piratical maid-of-all-work. And that is how you find me now, A member of your shy lot, Which you wouldn’t have found, had he been bound Apprentice to a pilot. [Thanks to Anna for lyrics]
