Don't Be Rude to a Rhinoceros

Don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Don't try pushing him aside

In a cafeteria he will cause hysteria

If his face isn't dried

Give him silverware and napkins

Place them neatly on his tray

But don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Kindly step aside and let him have his way

When a rhinoceros is cross you want to give him plenty of room

He's awfully big you know and has a monstrous horn

If you let him in the door he is gonna wreck the floor

and your mother's curtains will be torn

While he might seem awfully fascinating

It is wiser to avoid his company

For it's very hard to know when a Rhino's gonna blow

And when he does it's not a very good place to be

Don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Don't try pushing him aside

In a cafeteria he will cause hysteria

If his face isn't dried

Give him silverware and napkins

Place them neatly on his tray

But don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Kindly step aside and let him have his way

When he decides to take a nap he's going to sleep wherever he likes

It's all the same to him he simply lays down flat

If it's in your flower bead where he lays his monstrous head

You will have some flowers going splat

You must whistle up a little folk song

To persuade him to go back to the zoo

But be careful what you grab as you help him in to a cab

For a rhinoceros you know is ticklish too

And don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Don't try pushing him aside

In a cafeteria he will cause hysteria

If his face isn't dried

Give him silverware and napkins

Place them neatly on his tray

But don't be rude to a Rhinoceros

Kindly step aside and let him have his way

Kindly step aside and let him have his way
