"Drunken sailors" have been removed from the lyrics of a nursery rhyme in a government-funded books project.

But the Bookstart charity says the re-writing of What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor? has "absolutely nothing to do with political correctness".

Apparently now we must refer to a "grumpy pirate", and in order to cheer him up we must "do a little jig"

Awh I was hoping for better with a title like that. They changed the wording because it was for a Pirate themed 'thing' not PC at all!

Now move along, nothing to see here

Or am I just gullible?
