Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bold Sir John (from the Two Ronnies)

Hi,

Does anyone know the exact name of the original tune from Gilbert and Sullivan
that is parodied as "What the Navy needs is more efficient ships...
Fish and chips!".
I have the full transcript for this musical melody typed but this is the only part of it that I don't know the name of the tune.
You help would be appreciated and I can then post up the full transcript.
