DON'T DO WHAT THE DODO DID
©2012 Gary Bowman

Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Gone forever, Farewell, Good-bye

Mauritius was their island home
This peaceful island was their home
Mauritius was their island home
Gone forever, Farewell, Good-bye

Sailors came and cut the trees
Sailors cut down all the trees
Sailors came and cut  the trees
No more ‘home, sweet home’

Sailors brought their dogs and rats
Pigs, macaques, dogs and rats
Pigs, macaques, dogs and rats
Plundered all the Dodo nests

You can see their stuffed remains
All that’s left are stuffed remains      
You can see their stuffed remains
At Oxford’s quaint museum

Just what did the Dodo do?
Just what did the Dodo do?
Nothing! And it could happen to you
Gone forever Farewell, Good-bye

Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Don’t Do What the Dodo Did
Gone forever, Farewell, Good-bye
