No kidding, the big scandal in HMS Pinafore is when one of the characters says the word "damn." Societal mores have certainly changed since then.

@Afalstein Agreed. If you listen closely this is really quite a "colorful" song as far as what they are really saying.

OMG were doin this for our school play and i think i would die if i saw us doing this song in that kind of......manner :S
-
@Wribbet I think the actual joke here is that the more obvious offense is unsaid. Why are they kidnapping the girls? To get married, of course! This is a play!
It's partly tongue-in-cheek. It's actually making fun of the same societal mores it's abiding by.

I went to see this performed by a local Amateur Operatic company on Saturday night - the whole performance was excellent, but this bit was the best - the way the girls reacted when the pirates rushed on stage was priceless!
-
Any idea where I can find dresses like that? My school is putting Pirates of Penzance on.
-
No problem! :)

It's funny that in 1880 their idea of the most scandalous offense was pirates marrying young girls against their wills.
