A Crash Of Rhinoceros Lyrics - Before & After - Carrie Newcomer

When Adam went out to name the animals 

He sat on a rock and he figured 

Horse and cow and goat and sheep 

Were the best names that he could deliver 

But Eve looked around at all of that glory 

Said Hon I think we should consider 

Something a bit more unique and refined 

For each and every critter 

It's a crash of rhinoceros a pomp of Pekinese 

It's a gaggle of geese and a swarm of bees 

A parliament of owl and a gam of whale 

A pandemonium of parrot and a watch of nightingale 

A huddle of walrus, company of moles 

Exultation of lark and a murder of crow 

A simple flock sheep and a herd of deer 

Its a bask of crocodiles and a sleuth of bear 

Adam looked shocked and scratched his head 

Eve stood there happy and beaming 

The animals gathered in close to their feet 

With roars of delight, barks and singing 

She's on a roll and just getting started 

The birds and beasts held their breath 

What fine appellation would they receive 

And which one of them would be the next? 

It's a team of oxen and a mob of kangaroo 

It's a charm of flinch if there are more than two 

A troubling of goldfish, a cluster of cats 

A bloat of hippopotami, a cloud of bats 

Ostentation of peacock, a barren of mules 

An army of ant, nursery of raccoon 

A parcel of penguins, a dray of squirrels 

A bed of oyster with or without the pearls 

All that naming lasted far into the night 

Until even the insects had groupings 

Eve was still bright eyed and willing to finish 

Though her shoulders and fig leaves were drooping 

Adam said, â??Darling I'm proud and amazed 

You're really one heck of a woman 

So let's go to sleep and tomorrow we'll rise 

And we'll start naming the rocks plants and woodlandsâ?? 

It's a tittering of magpie, company of mole 

It's a pride of lions and a tribe of goats 

A plague of locust and a pack of dogs 

A leap of leopard, an array of hedgehog 

It's a caravan of camels, a drift of swan 

A sulk of foxes and the list goes on 

It's a an prickle of porcupine, a battery of hens 

A cohort of zebra and now once again 

It's a colony of rabbits, and a sounder of boar 

An ambush of tigers, now just a little more 

It's a business of ferrets, a swarm of eels 

A covey of quail and a pod of seals 

It's a parade of elephant, a dole of dove 

A bale of turtles and all of them I love 

And she kissed the horde of hamsters 

On their furry little heads, sighed with satisfaction 

And she went to bed
