Captain cook had strived to be
The most famous sailor across the sea
From cyclones to leaks he managed to get
Across the oceans biggest regrets
He travelled across the mighty gust
Then at last he landed on the riverside
England now owns Australia with pride

Captain cook had strived to be
The most famous sailor across the sea
Around 1779 it was the rightest time
To show off his awesome skills with lemon & lime
His third voyage is to be repeated
His return to Tahiti was uncompleted
His terrible mistake was making Hawaiians mistreated,
Sir James Cook’s frustrating journey backfired
Now Cook is in heaven retired
