Act I
We sail the ocean blue
Sailors
I'm called Little Buttercup
Buttercup
But tell me who's the youth
Buttercup and Boatswain
The nightingale
Ralph and Chorus of Sailors
A maiden fair to see
Ralph and Chorus of Sailors
My gallant crew
Captain Corcoran and Chorus of Sailors
Sir, you are sad!
Buttercup and Captain Corcoran
Over the bright blue sea
Sir Joseph's Female Relatives
Sir Joseph's barge is seen
Chorus of Sailors and Sir Joseph's Female Relatives
Now give three cheers
Captain Corcoran, Sir Joseph, Cousin Hebe, and Chorus
When I was a lad
Sir Joseph and Chorus
For I hold that on the seas
Sir Joseph, Cousin Hebe, Female Relatives, and Sailors
A British tar
Ralph, Boatswain, Carpenter's Mate, and Chorus of Sailors
Refrain, audacious tar
Josephine and Ralph
Can I survive this overbearing?
Ensemble
Act II
Fair moon, to thee I sing
Captain Corcoran
Things are seldom what they seem
Buttercup and Captain Cororan
The hours creep on apace
Josephine
Never mind the why and wherefore
Josephine, Captain Corcoran, and Sir Joseph
Kind Captain, I've important information
Captain Corcoran and Dick Deadeye
Carefully on tiptoe stealing
Ensemble
Farewell, my own!

A many years ago
Buttercup and Chorus
Oh joy, oh rapture unforeseen!
