Botany Bay
Andre Rieu

Farewell to Old England forever

Farewell to my old pals as well

Farewell to the well known Old Bailey

Where I once used to be 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

Oh we are bound for Botany Bay


There's the captain as is our commandeer,

There's bo'sun and all the ship's crew

There's 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

Oh we are bound for Botany Bay


'Taint leaving Old England we cares about,

'Taint 'cos we mispells wot we knows

But becos all we light finger'd 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

Oh we are bound for Botany Bay


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


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

Oh we are bound for Botany Bay


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


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

Oh we are 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 touch-es-es,

Or you'll find us in Botany Bay,
