Original lyrics Botany Bay: Farewell to old England forever, Farewell to my old pals as well, Farewell to the well--known Old Bailey Where once I used to look such a swell. Chorus: Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity, Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-ay, Singing too-ral, li-ooral, li-addity, And 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 go through. Taint leaving old England we cares about, Taint cos we mis-spells what we knows, But because all we light--fingered gentry Hops around with a log on our toes. These seven long years I ve been serving now And seven long more have to stay, All for bashing a bloke down our alley And taking his ticker away. Oh had I the wings of a turtle--dove, I d soar on my pinions so high, Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love, And in her sweet presence I d die. 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.
