Lyrics : These Hallowed Wings
Hoo! Doing a song, are we? Jolly good, here we go!
Get home from an expedition
And the phone on my desk is ringing
Sounds like a friend with a special mission
Found an astounding exhibition
Packed my things and I flapped my wings
Excited to find what the campsite brings
There’s a brand-new island for analysing
And this chap’s flying in to track findings
Natural history is my domain
Extinct little trinkets and giant remains
I don’t know though, might think again
I think that’s a Dodo flying the plane!
Now I’ve had a jolly holiday in Zanzibar
But this sabbatical is practically spectacular
From above, it is honestly a bit bizarre
How the island is improbably rectangular
Pioneering new frontiers! But what should I expect?
Exploring tropic flora? Newfound fauna to inspect?
To ply my palaeontology, to prospect and erect
A repository for fossils for each fish and each inse-
Eugh! No, no!
Get home from an expedition
And the phone on my desk is ringing
Sounds like a friend with a special mission
Found an astounding exhibition
Packed my things and I flapped my wings
Excited to find what the campsite brings
There’s a brand-new island for analysing
And this chap’s flying in to track findings
Natural history is my domain
Extinct little trinkets and giant remains
I don’t know though, might think again
I think that’s a Dodo flying the plane!
Now I’ve had a jolly holiday in Zanzibar
But this sabbatical is practically spectacular
From above, it is honestly a bit bizarre
How the island is improbably rectangular
Pioneering new frontiers! But what should I expect?
Exploring tropic flora? Newfound fauna to inspect?
To ply my palaeontology, to prospect and erect
A repository for fossils for each fish and each inse-
Eugh! No, no!
