[STARBUCK]
Welcome aboard the Pequod, men
My name is Starbuck, First Mate
You all answer to me
If you are good and noble and honest and brave and work hard
We shall have a fine and rewarding whaling voyage

[ALL]
Good man Starbuck
He's a Quaker from Nantucket
Sailed so many times that his skin is as hard and golden as a twice-baked biscuit

[STARBUCK]
But I will have no man in my boat not afraid of a whale
I will have no man in my boat not afraid of a whale
No lowering for whales after sundown
No fighting a fish that fights too much
No gushing of daredevil daring
I am here in this ocean

[ALL]
I am here in this ocean

[STARBUCK]
To kill whales and not to be killed by them
A fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward
