Farewell to Old England forever
Farewell to my old pals as well
Farewell to the well-known Old Bailee
Where I once used to look such a swell
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
For we're bound for Botany Bay
There's the captain as is our commander
There's the bo'sun and all the ship's crew
There's the first and the second class passengers
Knows what we poor convicts goes through.
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
For we're bound for Botany Bay
Taint leaving Old England we cares about,
Taint 'cos we mispells wot we knows
But becos all we light fingered gentry
Hop's around with a log on our toes.
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
For we're bound for Botany Bay
Now all my young Dookies and Duchesses
Take warning from what I've to say
Mind all is your own as you toucheses
Or you'll find us in Botany Bay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
For we're bound for Botany Bay.
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
For we're bound for Botany Bay.
Yes we're bound for Botany Bay.
