Captain Cook chased a chook
All around Australia.

And continued in his underpants.

Captain Cook, the dirty chook,
Went sailing down a river.
He struck a rock and broke his cock
And made his puff balls shiver.

Captain Cook was making soup,
His wife was making jelly.
Captain Cook fell in the soup,
And burnt his rubber belly.
