Five little rhinos basking in the sun

The first one said, “Let’s have some fun.”

The second one said, “Let’s run and play.”

The third one said, “No, not today.”

The fourth one said, “Let’s snort and stomp”

The fifth one said, “In the dirt we’ll romp!”

So they played and they snorted

And they stomped and they lay.

Then they all fell asleep

In the heat of the day.

I’m a little rhino

Short and gray

I can wiggle

My horn this way

When I get real mad

And out of sorts

See me stomp

And hear my snorts.

A rhinoceros, a rhinoceros
Sometimes he makes a dreadful fuss.
He has a big horn on his nose.
He snorts and rumbles as he goes.
He's very long and very wide.
He has a very wrinkled hide.
He has big hoofs on his four feet.
We feed him grass and hay to eat.
A rhinoceros, a rhinoceros,
Is surely not a pet for us.

Did you ever see a rhino, a rhino, a rhino,

Did you ever see a rhino,

Stomp this way and that?

Stomp this way and that way

And this way and that way

Did you ever see a rhino,

Stomp this way and that?

Did you ever see a rhino, a rhino, a rhino,

Did you ever see a rhino,

Run this way and that?

Run this way and that way

And this way and that way

Did you ever see a rhino,

Run this way and that?

The airplane likes to go--zoom, zoom, zoom.

The drum likes to go--boom, boom, boom.

The owls like to go--whom, whom, whom.

And the rhinoceros likes to have room, room, room

Room, room, room, room.

The rhinoceros likes to have room, room, room.
