Where Did the Dodo Go?

Where, oh where, did the Dodo go go?

What what did the Dodo do do to you you?

Did did the Dodo go go away like the Dino? No no no

Why why did the Dino die die?

Well well. Here's what the Dino did not know know

The poor Dinosaur never saw the meteor before it hit the

Floor of the Yucatan, like a bomb

An extinction event. Heaven-sent and Hell-bent on

Making a dent in the lizard population. A complete annihilation

Of their schools and their businesses. Their banks and their farms

Their religion could not save them. The Dinosaur nation was gone…

Except for Birds. The Birds. Well the Avians found a way to hang on

The Robins and the Ravens lived to sing their favorite songs

With that problem solved, well lo and behold, the old Dodo evolved

Not like a crow, but a far cry more like a pigeon that didn't need to fly

She was sure not smart, and sure not very pretty

So she settled into Dodo domesticity

Where, oh where, did the Dodo go go?

What what did the Dodo do do to you you?

Fast forward some millennium: the Indian Ocean

Now if we park our car on Madagascar

Mauritius is just to the East of us. Not far

And history teaches us the beaches of Mauritius

Were covered in the feces of the most auspicious of all lost species

This tropical isle was the Dodo domicile

Well how did their numbers shrink to none?

How did they sink into complete oblivion?

Unlike the Dino, the Dodo stared into the deep Dutch eyes of the agent of her demise

'Cause it was a hungry Dutchman hit the pigeon with a bludgeon

And did the double-dutch with a club upon the Dodo's dome

On the beach that was the Dodo's home. And then he did another one

Until the Dodo dominion was all done

Where, oh where, did the Dodo go go?

What what did the Dodo do do to you you?

Well the Dodo did not live to see a choo choo

And the Dodo probably never ate a bon bon

But she might have had a maki maki sushi

Because it lived right there by the deep blue sea. See?

Where, oh where, did the Dodo go go?

What what did the Dodo do do to you you?

Do do to you you?… Do do to you you? What did the Dodo do to you?
