Best Answer

It was actually first written as a poem in 1908 by Terry Sullivan, in honor of Mary Anning. It soon became a popular tongue twister.

The poem goes:

She sells seashells on the seashore

The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure

So if she sells seashells on the seashore

Then I'm sure she sells seashore shells.
