Don’t Call Wagga Wagga Wagga Lyrics by Ted Egan

Saving The Best [Disc 2]

2010

[Intro]
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
Ones that make you laugh
When it comes to the double names
You don't do things by half
[Chorus]
You don't call Kurri Kurri Kurri
You don't call Gin Gin Gin
Don't call Mooney Mooney Mooney
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
[Verse 1]
It's Lang Lang and it's Ki Ki
Wangi Wangi and Woy Woy
And if you call Tumbi Umbi Tumbi
Well that proves you're a silly boy
Cocklebiddy isn’t Cockle
Duckinwilla isn’t Duck
Burpengary isn’t Burpen
Muckadilla isn’t Muck
Uranquinty isn’t Uran
And Petrie isn’t Pee
You’d look pretty silly calling Liili Pilli Lilli
And Wee Waa isn’t Wee
[Chorus]
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
And don’t call Wagga Wagga Wagga, no sir
Calling Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong
[Verse 2]
It’s Terrigal not Terry
Stanthorpe isn’t Stan
Peterborough isn’t Peter
Dandaragan isn’t Dan
Kenebri’s not Kenny
Jackadgery 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 ’em twice
[Chorus]
You don't call Kurri Kurri Kurri
You don't call Gin Gin Gin
Don't call Mooney Mooney Mooney
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
Never ever ever call Wagga Wagga Wagga
Calling Wagga Wagga Wagga is wrong
