Well Sergeant Baker has a busy time
And he lives in the sea out of sight
And he just doesn't have all the time he'd like
To check things out, to see that all is right
To see that all is safe.

There are so many people to see
Like Alfred and the rest of the Abalone
Sergeant Baker must make sure
Everyone takes just 10 no more
And will they measure her right?
And no she seems too small.

And Larry the lobster needs his help
And he lives in the caves and the kelp
Sergeant Baker must make sure
Everyone takes just two no more
And will they measure him right?
And yes he seems all right.

Chorus
And this is the story of
Sergeant Baker and his friends
If you like you can come with me
Down to Sergeant Baker's sea

And Wilma the whiting needs his help
He's the one on which she can depend
Sergeant Baker must make sure
Everyone takes just 20 no more
And will they measure her right?
And yes she seems all right.

Chorus
