I am the very model of a Caribbean Commodore
I'm strutting on the quarterdeck bedecked in golden lace galore
I know my naval history and quote the fights historical
From Sluis to Cape Passaro in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted too with matters navigational
I with compass, quadrant, astrolabe I plot a course so rational*
From far flung expeditions I'm returning with a lot of news
With prisoners piratical to dance upon the hangman's noose

[CHORUS]
With prisoners piratical to dance upon the hangman's noose
With prisoners piratical to dance upon the hangman's noose
With prisoners piratical to dance upon the hangman's noose

I'm very good at swordplay and my footwork is unparallelled
I know the minute difference between a galleon and a caravel
In short in matters naval, navigational and so much more
I am the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!

[CHORUS]
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!

The world's now an unwelcome place for people most piratical
From Barbossa to the Frog, Chevelle, they'd best take a sabbatical
I know the Caribbean from Bermuda to the Leeward Isles
And chased rum runners from their roosts with ruthless condescending smiles
I've made the sealanes doubly safe for Beckett's trading company
But wasn't stealing Jones's heart a personal act of piracy?
Ah, ours is not to reason why, for duty calls as once before
There's no rest for the weary, wary Caribbean Commodore!

[CHORUS]
There's no rest for the weary, wary Caribbean Commodore!
There's no rest for the weary, wary Caribbean Commodore!
There's no rest for the weary, wary Caribbean Commodore!

Well I can you just how well a long nine volley will perform
And tell you all the minutae of Captain Robert**'s uniform
In short in matters naval, navigational and so much more
I am the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!

[CHORUS]
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!
He is the very model of a Caribbean Commodore!

When I'm promoted admiral and once again regain my sword
When I hunt down the hideout of the legendary pirate lords
When I have learnt my true love's path is parallel but can't be joined
And opened up her prison's door with keys piratic'ly purloined
And face mer-men maniacal with blade and pistol in my hand
And stab a squid-faced Scottish rogue who cannot seem to step on land
In short when I have faced my fears and thereby met my destiny
You'll say a better Commodore was not employed by Walt Disney***!

[CHORUS]
You'll say a better Commodore was not employed by Walt Disney***!
You'll say a better Commodore was not employed by Walt Disney***!
You'll say a better Commodore was not employed by Walt Disney***!

When I choose the side where honour lies, although it means a prison door.
And I learned the things you only know from having been to Singapore
Then I shall be, what no one else has ever, ever been before
The true blue perfect model of a Caribbean Commodore!

[CHORUS]
The true blue perfect model of a Caribbean Commodore!
The true blue perfect model of a Caribbean Commodore!
The true blue perfect model of a Caribbean Commodore!
