Island Hop (to the tune of "Thrift Shop")

Here we have the fourth song in the series, "Island Hop," to the tune of the very popular "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore.  Below is a link to the parody:

Here are the lyrics to the song:


Hey, Macklemore!  Can we go island hopping?

In-su-lar-ized...[x7]

Island, bio, geogra, phy... [x9]

[Hook:]
Australia and Tobag-
-o, Cross them both off my docket
Take a look at some of these animals close-up
Kakapo, Penguins and the Possum

[Verse 1:]
Nah, walk up to the map like, "What up with all these chunks of rock
Out in the deep blue sea, barely staying on top."
Ice in Antarctica, it's so dang frosty
That penguins like, "It's cold enough here to completely freeze a donkey."
Floatin' in, water's deep, I can see a dorsal fin,
Dressed for adventure, 'cept for one fact, I'm completely clean
Hoppin' off, walkin' round, I can really barely see
Probably should remember, there are some big animals here that need to eat-
(Hissssss)
But shoot, it's a Komodo Dragon! (Dang it)
Runnin' round, leap and bound, my death I hope to circumvent
Don't want to be a has been, someone needs to find my next of kin
But now I got a game plan
Run up to that tree and climb and
Wait up there 'til someone comes along and helps me down, really, it's a cinch
Next I'm off to Baffin Isle., turn the clock back awhile,
No for real - ask your grandpa - once the great auk here was found? (That's right)
Polar bears, arctic terns, and some things with flippers
And even more fossils if you just get diggin'
To avoid getting bored, let's head to the opposite seaboard
To the Channel Islands, much of which are rarely explored
Hello, say hello, to the Island Tree mallow,
The Channel Island fox and the introduced Catalina Island buffalo
Unfortunately, its now extinct, but at one point, there arose,
A 6-foot tall mammoth that would barely reach up to your nose

[Hook]
Australia and Tobag-
-o, Cross them both off my docket
Take a look at some of these animals close-up
Kakapo, Penguins and the Possum

[Hook]
Australia and Tobag-
-o, Cross them both off my docket
Take a look at some of these animals close-up
Kakapo, Penguins and the Possum

[Verse 2:]
What you know about island dwarfism?
What you know about the Cozumel Island fox, then?
I'm digging, I'm digging, I just can't find that page
An adult Cozumel's as big as a red one's pup
Thank your granddad for helping to slow the extinction and to-avert
'Cause right now we might still have the living thing
I'm in New Zealand, you can find me in (Wellington)
I'm not, I'm not sick of searchin' in that region (Wellington)
For the kea, the kiwi, the korora, the weka,
There ain't no native mammals in New Zealand, cept for bats, and of course whales and dolphins
Other marine ones like the seals and the sea lions
I hit the button and then through time we go flyin'
They be like, "Here we are at Hațeg - yo, let's check out the sites."
I'm like, "Whoa - that's Balaur and Hatzegopteryx."
Despite the transition, it's time to finish our mission
Magyarosaurus and Struthiosaurus - neither of which
Are very tall at all, they have both been shrimped
I call that island dwarfism at its most intenseness
That's not all that's here, though
Telmatosaurus, Bradycneme, and of course the Rhabdodon, or Rhabdodon't
But separating us from the mainland, no continental slope
In the future this place, separated from Romania it won't
Man it surely won't

(Hațeg...island dwarf...yeah!)

[Hook]
Australia and Tobag-
-o, Cross them both off my docket
Take a look at some of these animals close-up
Kakapo, Penguins and the Possum

[Bridge: x2]
Take the mainland and an island and juxtapose
It's quite incredible
They're surrounded by a moat
Which helps animals change their genetic code

[Hook]
Australia and Tobag-
-o, Cross them both off my docket
Take a look at some of these animals close-up
Kakapo, Penguins and the Possum
