Mr. Phelps’
Ted the Rhino
Chorus:
I've got a pet rhino, his name is Ted
He lives in a ‘fridgerator next to my bed
Sometimes he's friendly, sometimes he's a grouch
Be nice, or he might knock you off of the couch
Our pet rhino Ted
Verse 1:
I brought home a friend from my job one day
He came from India it's quite far away
He's big and he's gray with horns on his face
And he asked us is he could live at our place
Verse 2:
He's seemed like a nice guy so I said: "Sure!"
He just barely fit through the living room door
He bumped into the cabinet and smashed all the china
His horn ripped the curtain but the damage was minor
Chorus
Verse 3:
I took Ted to a French restaurant
He French fries, French toast, and a chocolate croissant
But Ted got impatient, and chased the Maitre D’
And sat on the waiter, so we had to leave
Verse 4:
I asked Ted to go to a movie with me
An animated feature that was rated PG
But his head blocked the picture and a lady complained
So he ripped down the screen and we all ran away
Chorus
Verse 5:
Ted the Rhino's got a really short fuse
Everybody hides if he's running loose
Don't joke about his horns, 'cuz if he overhears
You just might get thumped from the rear
Verse 6:
So I took Ted to anger management class
He's doing better and I hope that he'll pass
And if you find yourself getting mad all the time
Just take a deep breath and you'll be fine
Chorus
