©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 |
