Flight of the Conchords Lyrics to Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros
I’m the mother flippin’ Rhymenocerous
My beats are phat and the birds are on my back
And I’m horny, I’m horny.
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
‘Cause I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhymo Stampede.
I’m not just wild, I’m trained, domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated
That’s how it goes
Here’s the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
AHEM (clears throat)
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin’ off the top of this esophagus
Rockin’ this metropolis
I’m not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
Steve.
My rhymes and records they don’t get played
Because my records and rhymes they don’t get made
And if you rap like me you don’t get paid
And if you roll like me you don’t get laid.
My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I’m trying to correct this.
Other rappers dis me
Say my rhymes are sissy.
Why? Why? Why? What?
Why exactly? What? Why?
Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
Why?
Why, because I rap about reality?
Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?
There ain’t no party like my nanna’s tea party.
Hey! Ho!
I’m the motherflippin’
I’m the motherflippin’
I’m the motherflippin’
Who’s the motherflippin?
I’m the motherflippin’
I’m the motherflippin’
I’m the motherflippin’
Motherflippin’
Some of the lyrics written are incorrect. Hearing them live and again on their album, certain lines in the first verse are slightly different…

I’m the mother flippin’ Rhymenocerous
My beats are PHAT and the birds are on my back (making jokes about a Rhino’s size)
And I’m horny, I’m horny.
If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
‘Cause I hit you with my flow
The Wild Rhymo Stampede. (He’s a Rhymo, not a Rhino)
I’m not just wild, I’m trained, domesticated
I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
And subsequently procreated
That’s how it goes
Here’s the Hiphopopotamus
The hip hop hippo
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
My lyrics are bottomless
…
**AHEM** (clears throat audibly)
