Chorus: Singing Too-ral Li-ooral li-ad-dity Singing too-ral li-ooral li-ay Singing too-ral li-ooral li-ad-dity 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 second class passengers Knows what we poor convicts go through 'taint leavin' old England we cares about 'taint cos we mispels what we knows But becos all we light-fingered gentry Hops around with a log on our toes For seven long years I'll be staying here For seven long years and a day For meeting a cove in an area 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 tha 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 touchesses Or you'll find us in Botany Bay - submitted by Mike Hiltonwood
