There was a redhead sailor from Hull,
Who claimed his every day was dull.
Till he rounded the Rock,
Hit a Moroccan dock,
And was swallowed alive by a gull.

There was a redhead sailor from Hull,
Who claimed his every day was dull.
Till he rounded the Rock,
Hit a Moroccan dock,
And was swallowed alive by a gull.
