Ode to Rhino
Out of the blue came Rhino
Who loves a drink of wino
He danced and he pranced
And spun a big twirl
Next he came out with a neck whirl
Of course bass guitar he had learnt real well
From playing with Dexys Midnight show
Now in Quo it came as a shock
To see him standing in Nuffs spot
For many the start of all the rot
But he did his job and played away
He tried his best to be like Nuff
Grew his hair and put on a face
He tried to end some of the rot
But found out you can’t be who you are not.
So he wrote some Rockin Quo songs
To please the Quo fans
And kept Quo going by being in the band
To Tour Logs he turned his hand
And hoped the fans might understand
Cos it wasn’t his fault what went before
He had joined Quo cos he wanted more
But across the Globe he couldn’t restore
The Army was gone and wouldn’t be back
Cos CQ had lost the knack
Today the Quo name is worth much more
Because of the band it was before
The money makers have all moved in
Circling round to get their win
Rhino has now a nice big grin
Still the show rolls on and on
As we hang in for more
An album here a stunt over there
We find it hard to let go
Rhino too he hangs in there
For about Status Quo he does care
Well done Rhino
