He’s got himself a long green boat
 He’s got himself a nice size outboard 
Swinging back and forth 
He left the door unlocked the night before 
Commodore Peter wants to know

Where are you going?
 Can I take you home 
Or to the market or to church
 Or to a restaurant or a nightclub in St. Georges?

He gave up all he knew for the help of other folks 
Skims across the water 
Back and forth, back and forth 
From Grand Anse beach to the village of St Georges
 Commodore Peter wants to know

Repeat Chorus

He knows, he’s seen the writing on the wall 
No justice at all

 Commodore Peter took a guest into his house 
The one he trusted above the rest
 And there is no doubt and there is no fault
 He left the door unlocked
 Commodore Peter wants to know

Repeat Chorus
