  THE SEAGULL

 

I bought an ice cream in St. Ives

A seagull stole it before my eyes

 

I bought a burger from a stall

A seagull stole it wrapper an'all

 

My lottery ticket was in my hand

A seagull stole it and swallowed a grand

 

I found a fiver in the road

A seagull stole it the wrotten toad

 

My mobile had a sticky end

A seagull stole it to phone a friend

 

The biggest break I ever got

A seagull stole it and the pot

 

I had a plan to be a millionaire

A seagull sold it to Ryanair

 

And what became of my windfall?

That bastard seagull stole it all
