Passenger Pigeon

(álbum: Scouse The Mouse - 1977)

If you're feeling funny and your nerves are raw
Remember the Shoe-billed Stork
He had little time to fly before he nearly had to walk
And no-one saved the Passenger Pigeon

And if you're feeling down, if you're feeling low
Consider the condition of the buffalo
Thousands roamed the plains, now there's just a few for show
And no-one saved the Passenger Pigeon

Now you can find an Aadvark or a
And also a turkey or a Duck-billed Platyplus
But Ectopistes migratorius has long since flown away from us
No-one saved the Passenger Pigeon

So if you're kinda shaky and you're feeling frail
Bear in mind the plight of the Great Blue Whale
The last thing he'll remember he'll have whalers on his trail
Then he'll be gone just like the Passenger Pigeon
