about

Wagga Wagga is a city in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The original inhabitants of the region were the Wiradjuri people.

The word 'wagga', in the Wiradjuri language, was thought to mean 'crow and it was debated 'wagga wagga' could mean 'the place of many crows'.
August 2019, Wiradjuri elder, Uncle Stan Grant, stated, 'Wagga is the word for dance, wagga wagga is dancing or celebrating.'

Wagga Wagga has since officially adopted the definition of its city name as 'dancing or celebrating'.

'Wagga Wagga' was a World Songwriting Awards contest Fall 2023 Best Outlaw Song Top 10 Finalist.

lyrics

★ WAGGA WAGGA ★

MY SHEILA'S GONE TO WAGGA WAGGA
WHY SHE LEFT I'LL NEVER KNOW
PERHAPS IT'S THE PLACE TO GO
MY SHEILA WENT TO WAGGA WAGGA

MY BABY FLEW TO WAGGA WAGGA
WHY SHE'D SHOOT THROUGH I HAVE NO CLUE
MAYBE IT'S THE THING TO DO
MY BABY'S NEW TO WAGGA WAGGA

NAH WORRIES MATE
IT'S A FAIR DINKUM PLACE TO BE
IT COULD BE THE HOME FOR ME
AS THERE I'LL FIND MY COUNTERPART
AND HOME IS WHERE I HANG MY HEART

MY SHEILA WENT TO WAGGA WAGGA
WHY SHE'D GO NO ONE CAN SAY
PERHAPS SHE KNOWS A PLACE TO STAY
MY SHEILA'S GONE TO WAGGA WAGGA

MY BABY'S NOW IN WAGGA WAGGA
WHY SHE MOVED I'LL NEVER GUESS
MAYBE IT'S A GOOD ADDRESS
MY BABY LIVES IN WAGGA WAGGA

WITH DANCES AND CELEBRATIONS
YOU KNOW I HAVE TO CROW
IT'S SO NICE THEY NAMED IT TWICE (TWICE)

WAGGA WAGGA
WAGGA WAGGA
WAGGA WAGGA
WAGGA WAGGA
