[Verse 1]
Farewell to Old England forever
Farewell to my rum culls as well
Farewell to the well known Old Bailee
Where I used for to cut such a swell

[Chorus]
Singing toorali-orali-addity
Singing toorali-oolari-ai
Singing toorali-ollari-addity
We're bound for Botany Bay

[Verse 2]
'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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There's the captain as is our commander
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
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Oh had I 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

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus] x2
