I’ll just have to stay a Mole!

RHINO SONG
I’m a Rhinoceros that’s what I am
I’ve got a horn and a long tail.
I’m very handy if you’re in a jamb
If you need a friend then I wont fail.
It’s easy to see, just by looking at me
I’m big and strong like a Whale.
(SAID) ‘Feel those muscles’
(ALL SING) It’s easy to see, he is built like a tree
He’s big and strong like a Whale
I’m a Rhinoceros, how do you do
Don’t be afraid just cause I’m large
I may not see well but I’ll always know you
If you are my friend then I wont charge
If you call on me it’s entirely free
I never charge for a charge!
(SAID) ‘See what I did there? Charge for a Charge’. Get it?’
(ALL SING) Just give him a call there is no cost at all
He doesn’t charge for a charge.
(ALL SING)
He’s a Rhinoceros, he’s big and strong
We’re really glad that he’s our friend
He’s very handy if something goes wrong
If you call on him then you wont spend
Just give him a call there is no cost at all
He’ll stick with you to the end
Just give him a call, no cost at all
We’re really glad he’s our friend
........................................................
Rhino 'Goodness! Is that the time, I must get on I've got lots more friends to make.'
RHINO NOW PARADES ROUND THE STAGE BEFORE EXITING WHILE EVERYONE SINGS
All make way for Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros coming through
It’s our friend the Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros coming through
Say goodbye to Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros coming through
Say goodbye to Rhinoceros, Rhinoceros toodle-oo.

At The Zoo
At the Zoo, at the Zoo.
There are lots of things to do at the Zoo
And it’s still a lot of fun when you don’t get any sun
Won't you join us at the Zoo.
Don’t be blue, don’t be blue
It’s worth waiting in a queue for the Zoo
Now we’re on our way, it’s a really lovely day
Come and join us at the Zoo.
