Near Sydney Town
there's a place of renown
which is well known to you,
it's called Wooloomooloo,
it's easy to say
I know very well,
but Wooloomooloo's
not so easy to spell.
Double O double O
double L double O
M double O L O O
now make this a feature
and I'll be the teacher,
let ev'ry one here have a go.
And sing...

Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.
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 O
Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.

Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.
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 O
Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.

To spell Wooloomooloo
when you've had one or two
then five times out of six
you will get in a mix,
the number of letters
not ev'ryone knows,
there's double O three
L's and M and eight o's.
The fun to be put 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 all day.

Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.
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 O
Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.

Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.
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 O
Double O double O L L O O
M double O L O O.
