1
Farewell to Old England forever
2
Farewell to my old pals as well
3
Farewell to the well known Old Bailey
4
Where I once used to be such a swell
5
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty,
6
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay,
7
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
8
Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
9
There's the captain as is our commandeer,
10
There's bo'sun and all the ship's crew
11
There's first and the second class passengers,
12
Knows what we poor convicts goes through
13
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty,
14
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay,
15
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
16
Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
17
'Taint leaving Old England we cares about,
18
'Taint 'cos we mispells wot we knows
19
But becos all we light finger'd gentry
20
Hop's around with a log on our toes.
21
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty,
22
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay,
23
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
24
Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
25
These seven long years I've been serving now
26
And seven long more have to stay
27
All for bashing a bloke down our alley
28
And taking his ticker away
29
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty,
30
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay,
31
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
32
Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
33
Oh had I the wings of a turtle-dove,
34
I'd soar on my pinions so high,
35
Slap bang to the arms of my Polly love,
36
And in her sweet presence I'd die
37
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty,
38
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ay,
39
Singing too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty
40
Oh we are bound for Botany Bay
41
Now all my young Dookies and Duchesses,
42
Take warning from what I've to say,
43
Mind all is your own as you touch-es-es,
44
Or you'll find us in Botany Bay,
Andre Rieu - Chiquitita 2013
