I wanna get with a Rhino, it makes my boyfriend mad, says I better vote for someone else, well he sounds just like my dad, He quotes me polls and policy like I don't have a clue, I'm wide awake and horny just thinking about you I'M A RHINO! I wanna get with a Rhino, in grade 10 I've had a crush In civics I told the teacher, who told the class, they laughed, I blushed. Yeah I’m down to party, only you can turn me on, On a Sunday morning sidewalk I'm singing this rhino song I'M A RHINO! I wanna get with a Rhino, cuz it takes guts to run, you make the ballots longer, you're the reigning champs of fun, You know the systems broken and you know we’re out of luck, Oh I wanna get with a Rhino cause I hear you're great to fuck I'M A RHINO! I wanna get with a Rhino, it makes my boyfriend mad, says I better vote for someone else, well he sounds just like my dad, He quotes me polls and policy like I don't have a clue, I'm wide awake and horny just thinking about you

Friend of the turtle, eternal and wise Always aware of her spiritual ties Her message through time is wisdom sublime All heart and beauty No conditions with flaws Her love knew no borders nor cause The love for her family Meeches was strong A woman from Ojibway Strength was her way A woman from Ojibway Her blood with the Sioux A woman from Ojibway Standing there too Her heart spoke wisely, it was wisdom she sought The courage within is where adventure begins See Jan's roads were many Winding and climbing true to her binding She crossed over oceans for a giggle and tea, thoughts never far from you and me from you and me from you and me Quick to cheer, hardly a jeer, silly wit Contagious laughter, a comedy kit Here ever after, always a smile Gentle and strong, her care more than fair Her message through time is wisdom sublime When asked this question: How could people be so cruel? Her answer was this: When you understand it, you're like them. Good thoughts are a tool she was living elsewhere when her uncle sent message 'Stampede in Calgary? I'll be there!' A supreme human being Jan tells her man Her uncle's visiting an event Upon his arrival, uncle falls out of the car Done in by fun, an inebriated star Surprised as if startled Jan's man can now vouch Sometimes illusions get shattered Get uncle a couch Loyalty unwavering Admiration intact Her honour was her family And that's a fact Her heart only saw the real light in you A woman from Ojibway Strength was her way A woman from Ojibway Her blood with the Sioux A woman from Ojibway Standing there too In the circle of life love is never at bay For a mother and a child, it don't go away Her baby, Skyler his name, this dove sent back So Jan had to follow without her Sky And life became hollow. See Jan's roads were many Winding and climbing true to her binding She crossed over oceans for a giggle and tea, thoughts never far from you and me from you and me from you and me.

In Manitoba's forests, where the spruce trees stand is Natural Resources and the Forestry and Peatlands Branch They're not barking orders or barking up trees With every act and policy, they see the forest in the tree O Manitoba, your canopies are grand The Forestry and Peatlands Branch They log in hours to make a change In the boreal forest is where they make their wage With Planning and Development, they're not stumped for plans They got the roots to manage Nature's hard demands Inventory and Analysis, they leaf through the facts And for a greener tomorrow, they help ready the axe Urban Forestry, Health, and Field Services, they're hardcore and with The Forestry Act, they help open up the door for more (Hewers of wood.) For Peatlands Stewardship, they're never at rest In a treed bog or poor fen, they're simply the best (Hewers of wood.) O Manitoba, your canopies are grand The Forestry and Peatlands Branch They log in hours and weather any weather Whether the PCs or the NDP, they do it together (And one liberal.)

Jennie was a project manager in Manitoba She had a normal life and a normal job But she loved to listen to CKUW It was her favourite station and a source of joy So she donated to the fundraiser every year Because she wanted to keep CKUW on the air She got some cool incentives from CKUW Like a hoodie, a radio, and a portal to another world Jennie stepped into the portal one day She found herself in a world of magic She met a unicorn who became her friend And she fell in love with a tiger demi-god Yet she donated to the fundraiser every year Because she wanted to keep CKUW on the air She got some cool incentives from CKUW Like a hoodie, a radio, and a portal to another world Jennie learned how to use her hidden powers She felt her destiny, a prophecy to fulfill She fought against the evil King Thorak And she liberated the entire universe But still she donated to the fundraiser every year Because she wanted to keep CKUW on the air She got some cool incentives from CKUW Like a hoodie, a radio, and a portal to another world!

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (This world is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you Strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (with you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart) (This world is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one
