Bah

Ahoy ahoy ahoy

Mr. Keene Mr. Keene

Can you spare a moment

I've something to say that's more than urgent

About Peter Grimes and that boy

Neither of them was seen yesterday

It's more than suspicion now it's fact

The boy's disappeared

Do you expect me to act

Like a Bow Street runner or a constable

At least you can trouble to hear

What I've got to say

For two days I've kept my eyes open

For two days I've said nothing

Only watched and taken notes

Pieced clue to clue and bit by bit

Reconstructed all the crime

Everything points to Peter Grimes

He is the murderer

Old woman you're far too ready

To yell blue murder

If people poke their noses into others' business

No they won't get me to help them

They'll find there's merry hell to pay

You just tell me where's the body

In the sea the prentice lies

Whom nobody has seen for days

Murder most foul it is

Eerie I find it

My skin's a prickly heat

Blood cold behind it

In midnight's loneliness

And thrilling quiet

The history I trace

The stifling secret

Murder most foul it is

Murder most foul it is

And I'll declare it

Are you mad old woman

Or is it too much laudanum

Has Peter Grimes been seen

He's away

And the boy

They're fishing likely

Has his boat been seen

Why should it

His hut's abandoned

I'm dry good night
