Woolloomooloo
Near Sydney Town there's a place of renown,
Which is well known to you, it's called Woolloomooloo,
It's easy to say, I know very well,
But Woolloomooloo is not easy to spell.
Double U double O double L L double O M double O L double O
Now make that a feature, and I'll be the teacher,
Let everyone here have a go.
Chorus
Double U double O L L OO M double O L OO
Upon my word it's true, that's the way to spell Woolloomooloo,
I'll bet a dollar there isn't a scholar can spell it right first go
Double U double O L L OO M double O L OO
To spell Woolloomooloo when you've had one or two
Then five times out of six you'll get in a mix
The number of letters not everyone knows
There's a double U three L's an M and eight Os
The fun to be got out of this is a lot,
So do not forget it I pray,
If you have a mother, a sister, or brother,
Just try and get them to say �
Chorus
Double U double O L L OO M double O L OO
Upon my word it's true, that's the way to spell Woolloomooloo,
I'll bet a dollar there isn't a scholar can spell it right first go
Double U double O L L OO M double O L OO
