Botany Bay |
| 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 |
| Singing toorali-orali-addity |
| Singing toorali-oolari-ai |
| Singing toorali-ollari-addity |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
