The truth is you’ll never be prosperous
Hunting for horn of rhinoceros—
There isn’t a stiffy this side of the Liffey
That ever was caused by my horn, my horn
That ever was caused by my horn.

Have you got it? That horn stuff is twaddle—
Now get on your camel and toddle.
I may not have brains, but you’ll have no remains
If you don’t see the point of the horn, the horn,
If you don’t see the point of the horn
Whenever you see a rhinoceros.

Mardon me, Padmini, mais je pense que "stiffy" est tres spiffy, and just magniloquent to rime it on Liffey. Isn't there another secret word?... qui que quo qua... can't remember now that fits there somehow?
