THE RHINO SONG
I know, everybody knows
You got one tail, four feet, twelve toes
Mr Rhino, look what grows,
Two big horns on the tip of your nose
Now you got three friends, Mr Rhinoceros
Elephant, buffalo and hippopotamus
You got two bad eyes, but you’re not deaf
And in Africa and Asia there’s not many of you left
Mr Rhino, everybody knows
You got one tail, four feet, twelve toes
Mr Rhino, look what grows,
Two big horns on the tip of your nose.
Five, six seven makes a herd
And on your back rides a white tick bird
Eight nine ten you weigh a ton
But you’re fast as a zebra when you’re on the run
Mr Rhino, everybody knows
You got one tail, four feet, twelve toes
Mr Rhino, look what grows,
Two big horns on the tip of your nose.
Brambles and nettles you love to crunch
With your many many teeth you munch and munch
You’re the one and only, but sure as you’re born
Bigger and better than a unicorn
Mr Rhino, everybody knows
You got one tail, four feet, twelve toes
Mr Rhino, look what grows,
Two big horns on the tip of your nose.
I said two big horns on the tip of your nose.
A BIT OF NONSENSE
A canner exceedingly canny,
One morning remarked to his granny:
A canner can can anything that he can,
But a canner can't can a can, can he?
There was a young man so benighted,
He didn't know when he was slighted,
But went to the party and ate just as hearty
As tho' he'd been duly invited.
A BOY AND A GIRL IN A LITTLE CANOE
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe
With the moon shining all around
As he glides his paddle
You couldn't even hear a sound
And they talked and they talked
Till the moon grew dim
He said you better kiss me
Or get out and swim
So what you gonna do in a little canoe
With the moon shinin' all a--
Boats floatin all a--
Girls swimmin' all a rou-ou-ound!
