"A Dodo Egg" is a track by Fruit Bats, from the album Echolocation, released 12th September 2001. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

A Dodo Egg

Write your name on the shell of a dodo egg

In the horse latitudes in the deep blue dregs

Just remember that you're married to the sea

Throw your harpoons to the wind crying "mutiny!"

Write the name of your true love on a moa's beak

Poke a hole in the hull and let the bottom leak

Just remember that you're married to the sea

Throw your harpoons to the wind crying "mutiny!"
