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
