Botany Bay lyrics

==========================
Rolf Harris - Botany Bay
==========================

Farewell to old England forever,
Farewell to you numb-skulls as well.
And farewell to the well-known Old Bailey
Where I always did look such a swell.
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ay,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
And I`ll see you in Botany Bay.

Now my crime against the whole British Nation
Was to take some dry bread one fine day,
T`was death, or it was transportation,
So they tossed up a coin and sent me away.

Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ay,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
And I`ll see you in Botany Bay.

Now there`s the Captain, he`s our commander,
There`s the bosun and all of the crew,
There`s the first and second class passengers,
Know what we poor convicts go through.

Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ay,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
And I`ll see you in Botany Bay.

Now take warning you Dukes and you Duchesses,
Pay close attention to what I say.
Just make sure it`s you own what you touchesses,
Or you`ll join us in Botany Bay.

Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ay,
Singing too-ra-li oo-ra-li ad-dy,
And I`ll see you in Botany Bay.

And I`ll see you in Botany Bay.
