G'day Ed T, In the song (actually called "The Wee Dark Engine Room" by its composer, the late Harry Robinson - on his LP "Whale Chasing Men" the eggs don't get to hatch ... They get eaten - after being cooked over the pot-belly stove in said 'wee dark engine room', where Harry was refurbishing whaling ship engines, in the "off (... whaling...)season"! Regards, BobB
