So this pop-up statue appeared outside Kennington Tesco's and it got me thinking .. about three chord songs and the truth, apparently! I had so much fun making this song; which means you, the audience will either not get it or hate it. *tsk* Anyway I hope you enjoy

Lyrics

Well hey there, rhinoceros
‘bout time you gave a toss
‘bout being out on the brink

Hey there, Mister white rhino -
Better get ahead and go
Before your species is extinct

When your chess position
Means you are missing
Any chance of winning,
There’s a cost.

So it is good etiquette
to resign, or better yet
Go do something
about it instead.

Don’t just sit there playing chess
With a dog, I will think less
Of you, you magnificent beast

Hey there, rhinoceros
Don,t you be preposterous -
A loss is a loss is a loss

Uncontrolled hunting
Really did your nut in
Back in colonial times,

But now it is poaching, yeah
for your horn’s becoming the
Primary threat to your life.

Your head is adorned
With a sharp, pointy horn
Go stick it in your enemies’
Eyes.

Make it a stalemate, at best,
For them to risk their lives;
That's how you will survive

Don’t just sit there playing chess
With a dog, I will think less
Of you, you magnificent beast.

Hey there rhinoceros
‘bout time you gave a toss
‘bout being out on the brink …
