We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
Yes were going away to a far distant land
Where apples comprise of a mixture of sand
Where water runs up hill instead of you know what
And a home's not a home unless she's got one
We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
Informal occasions attended by all
The rich, the poor an accepted brawl
And all have intentions to journey afar
So business is brisk on this shooting star
We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
Now it's been said before that a minds must explore
Like Scott when he left our great land
For tonight at half past our thoughts they will last
And our journey will be hand in hand
We're going away, we're going away, we're going away
