Doing a song, are we?
Heh, jolly good! Here we go!
Get home from an expedition (ah)
And the phone on my desk is ringing (Hello?)
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 a plane! (Wow!)
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? (What should I expect)
Exploring tropic flora? Newfound fauna to inspect? (Fauna to inspect)
To ply my paleontology, to prospect and erect (prospect and erect
A repository for fossils for each fish and each inseโ eugh! No, no!
You've got a village that needs assistance
Expertise and seasoned wisdom
Want to learn? Take a seat and listen
This bird's the word on the ecosystem
Squeal with glee at each acquisition
Hoo says you can't teach facts with fiction?
This museum has a speaker system!
Pumping out beats 'bout your ecosystem!
On briny waters, I'm quite astute
And dinosaurs, I'm a fine who's hoo!
But when we all live with tigers, too
It might be awkward to try a zoo
Head down the stairs and you'll see scores
Of dunkleosteus and plesiosaurs
The fish are all down the right-hand hall
And on the left are the creepy crawliโ never mind!
You can quiz me with your queries on aquariums (hoo)
You'll nary see so vibrant or varied a vivarium (haha)
And there's no greater a curator or librarian
Just beware of all the horrors housed in the solarium
So if you've been a-digging or a-fishing in the sea
Then pluck up your discoveries and shuttle them to me
But if you want to know about the birds and bees
This bird prefers that the bees would leave!
Look, I understand all the important work they do for the planet
I just wish they'd do it somewhere else!
You've got a village that needs assistance
Expertise and seasoned wisdom
Want to learn? Take a seat and listen
This bird's the word on the ecosystem
Squeal with glee at each acquisition
Hoo says you can't teach facts with fiction?
This museum has a speaker system!
Pumping out beats 'bout your ecosystem!
Yes, all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small
Are collated and notated and displayed within our halls
From mighty, titan ancestors to wretched, scuttling things
Invited, if reluctantly, inside these hallowed wings (hoo)
And though bugs may be repulsive, I will put up with the fainting
If heinous abominations pave the way to taking the paintings
The masterworks of artists throughout all history
Inexplicably displayed upon an island out at sea
You've got a village that needs assistance
Expertise and seasoned wisdom
Want to learn? Take a seat and listen
This bird's the word on the ecosystem
Squeal with glee at each acquisition
Hoo says you can't teach facts with fiction?
This museum has a speaker system!
Pumping out beats 'bout your ecosystem!
You've got a village that needs assistance
Expertise and seasoned wisdom
Want to learn? Take a seat and listen
This bird's the word on the ecosystem
Sworn by noblest tradition
Organising organisms!
This museum has a speaker system!
Pumping out beats 'bout your ecosystem!
Haha! Jolly good!
Please enjoy the rest of your visit!
Hello, is that Blathers?
Yes?
Tom Nook here, yes, yes
Just a reminder that loan repayment's due on Monday
Hoo?
Hmm
Ah, erm, I really should be charging admission
And who let the crickets out? Eugh
