Lyrics

If you want to change the world 

Here’s your opportunity 

To create a world of your own

In books and on TV

Let your imagination carry you to anything you want to be

When you become a character for all the world to see

 

Put your pen to paper!

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

Rivals in Rhyme

 

Every song you ever heard, began inside a writer’s head

Every line in every movie, that every character has said

We’ll write the next amazing book that everybody’s read

We could be a Mister Lemur, or we could be YOU instead!

 

Put your pen to paper!

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

 

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

If it’s a world of your own, one adventure at a time

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Make sure to bring your best, with every single line

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Rivals in Rhyme

Lyrics

A hippo fell into a well

He was stuck inside

We knew we had to help him out

Each took turns and tried

So elephants, a buffalo, hyena, chimpanzee

All trying to save him on their own

They could not get him free

 

No one could lift him on their own

It seemed to us that rather

The hippo would stay stuck inside,

Be in there forever! 

 

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

 

Each beast had struggled on his own

So we could comprehend

That we need to put our pride aside

So we can save our friend

Once we all worked as a team

We saw there was no doubt

We had the skills, and smarts and strength

To lift this hippo out!

 

No one could do this task alone

But soon we saw that rather

We were much stronger as a team 

We rescued him together!

 

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

 

I opened up my journal 

Then made a little note

I did not know where to begin 

So I simply wrote…

 

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us (We can do anything!) to Lift a Hippopotamus! (Working as a team!)

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

It Will Take Alot of Us to Lift a Hippopotamus!

We can do anything! Working as a Team!

Lyrics

Through the fence I saw my sweet mare

Gasping for a breath of air

I could see her throat was blocked with

Oh my goodness it’s a granny smith

 

And I hoped that I could free her if I made her laugh or made her sneeze

And I know that time is running out I’ve got to formulate a plan quickly

 

It hit me that I’ve been trained to solve such problems like these

The heimlich maneuver, a life saving squeeze.

 

It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

Oh, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

 

First I tried the heimlich by myself

I found she was too big, I needed help

I made a pulley with a rope and tree

I pushed and pulled but I did not succeed

 

And I hoped that I could free it with the leverage that the pulley made

And I know that I could save this if horse if only I had greater strength

 

I called over a group of friends and they helped me achieve

The heimlich maneuver, a life saving squeeze.

 

It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

Oh, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

 

And I know what a difference that my training and quick thinking made

And I hope you all pay attention when it’s time to learn first aid.

 

Oh, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

C’mon, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

Oh, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

Oh, It will take a lot of force to give the heimlich to a horse

Yeah!
