The actual line is, "When I was a lad, I served a term / as office-boy to an attorney's firm." It's the entrance aria of Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B., the "ruler of the queen's navee," and is probably the most famous number from one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best-known operettas, H.M.S. Pinafore, or The Lass That Loved a Sailor. It doesn't open the operetta, however; the sailor's chorus "We Sail the Ocean Blue" opens the first act.
