I shall now expound this song quickly
Took a book and read 'bout these birdies
Short time they were shot down in gun fire
Nothing but a pile of feathers, it was dire

Dodo, dodo, won't you shed a tear
Dodo, dodo, crack open a beer
Not a type of bird around here no more
Dodo, dodo, they have disappeared
Dodo, dodo, they should be revered
'Twas unkind to exterminate them for sure
Woe, woe, woe!

Dutch brigands ate stacks and had a ball
That's why now you can't find them at all
Those tourists, terribly vicious
In their trips to Island Mauritius

Dodo, dodo, won't you shed a tear
Dodo, dodo, crack open a beer
It was fine to barbecue them four score
Dodo, dodo, they were running scared
Dodo, dodo, had no claws to bear
Was no time to visit a butcher store
D'oh, d'oh, d'oh!

Poor Raphus Cucullatus*
That ain't the way they were meant to end

Dodo, dodo, won't you shed a tear
Dodo, dodo, crack open a beer
Not a type of bird around here no more
Dodo, dodo, I do slightly fear
Dodo, dodo, same will happen here
'Now's the time save our gooses here for sure
Woe, woe, woe!
Dodo, dodo!
