Rhino Snot and Boogers Song

























During the flashback portion of Rhino Snot and Boogers, the three siblings start to sing an ode to Rhino Snot and Boogers. Here are the full lyrics and as well as the chord progression. 

I wrote, and play, the song in Bb. However, if it's easier for you to play in a different key, feel free to switch it. In addition to the notes, I also included the number progression below to make it easier to transpose in case you decide to play it in a different key. Any key in a minor blues scale will work. 

If you decide to record yourself or anybody else singing the song, we'd love to hear it! Please post it on social media using #rhinosnotandboogers as the hashtag, so we can see the different versions that everyone creates.

Also, If you want to get your copy of the book and have not ordered it yet, here is the link to the publisher's page: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/spencer-lightsy-and-trevor-lightsy/rhino-snot-and-boogers/paperback/product-vwjy2r.html?page=1&pageSize=4 

As always, THANK YOU for the tremendous outpouring of support we have received for this project!

Rhino Snot Recipe

This post is a re-post of my first ever reel. I embedded the video down at the bottom this time in case you do not have access Instagram. This was filmed by my daughter!

At the end of the story, we include a recipe page for those who want to try cooking up a batch of Rhino Snot themselves. If you decide to do this, PLEASE record a video of you and your family trying your homemade Rhino Snot and Boogers. We'd love to see what you produce! When posting, please use the hashtag #Rhinosnotandboogers so we can see what everybody does.

We would for this to be about more than just selling books, but become a way for us to connect around a common theme, in a virtual space, without adding to the zoom fatigue that we know so many of us are experiencing. 

For those interested in purchasing the book, here is the link:
Thank you for your consideration!
