Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down at the harbor where the tankers dock
Oil cargo waiting, round the clock
Inspector arrives with checklist in hand
Quality standards across every land
Temperature readings, gravity tests
Making sure the crude oil's at its best
Sample the cargo, seal it tight
Documentation keeps it right

[Chorus]
Check and Test, Document and Seal
Every cargo must be real
Quantity Quality Certificate clean
Best inspection you've ever seen
From oil to grain to minerals deep
Proper records we must keep
Port by port around the world
Legal standards get unfurled

[Verse 2]
Grain ships sailing from distant shores
Wheat and corn through cargo doors
Moisture content, protein grade
Foreign matter can't evade
Weevils, fungi, contamination
Fails the health examination
Weight and measure, bushel count
Every detail must amount

[Chorus]
Check and Test, Document and Seal
Every cargo must be real
Quantity Quality Certificate clean
Best inspection you've ever seen
From oil to grain to minerals deep
Proper records we must keep
Port by port around the world
Legal standards get unfurled

[Bridge]
Iron ore and copper bright
Coal as black as endless night
Mineral content, particle size
No deception, no disguise
Chain of custody never breaks
Documentation for all stakes
From loading port to destination
Trust through proper verification

[Verse 3]
Inspector's signature, official stamp
Certificate prevents any clamp
Bills of lading, survey reports
Legal protection in all ports
Draft surveys measure the load
Following international code
Pre-loading checks and final seals
Protect what every contract deals

[Chorus]
Check and Test, Document and Seal
Every cargo must be real
Quantity Quality Certificate clean
Best inspection you've ever seen
From oil to grain to minerals deep
Proper records we must keep
Port by port around the world
Legal standards get unfurled

[Outro]
When bulk cargo crosses seas
Documentation holds the keys
Inspection standards never bend
Legal compliance to the end
