Don't Call Wagga Wagga Wagga

Hey kids, you know me, Ted Egan

You know I've been around

Travelled through the outback

Covering lots of ground

You know the towns with the funny names

The ones that make you laugh

When it comes to the double names

You don't do things by half

You don't call Curry Curry Curry

You don't call Gin Gin Gin

Don't call Moonee Moonee Moonee

Don't call Kin Kin Kin

Never call Pindi Pindi Pindi

Don't call Grong Grong Grong

And never call Wagga Wagga Wagga

No sir, calling Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong

It's Lang Lang and it's Kai Kai

Wangi Wangi and Woi Woi

And if you call Tumby Umby Tumby

Well that proves you're a silly boy

Cockle Piddy isn't Cockle

Duck and Willa isn't Duck

Bourbon Gary isn't Bourbon

Mac and Dilla isn't Mac

Uran Quinti isn't Uran

And Petrie isn't Pete

You'd look pretty silly calling

Lillipilly Lily and Wee Waa isn't Wee

You don't call Walla Walla Walla

You don't call Curl Curl Curl

You don't call Mitta Mitta Mitta

You don't call Wool Wool Wool

Never call Pura Pura Pura

Don't call Bong Bong Bong

Don't call Wagga Wagga Wagga

No sir, calling Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong

It's Terry Gill not Terry

Stanthorpe isn't Stan

Peterborough isn't Peter

Dan Darigan isn't Dan

Ken O'Bryce not Kenny

Jack Adgery isn't Jack

Never ever call Jimboomba Jim

And Macksville isn't Mack

So now you'll all remember

Ted Egan's good advice

Some words are so fair dinkum

That you have to use them twice

And you don't call Curry Curry Curry

Don't call Gin Gin Gin

Don't call Moonee Moonee Moonee

Don't call Kin Kin Kin

Never call Pindi Pindi Pindi

Don't call Grong Grong Grong
