Biturian Varosh wrote down the words to this chant as it was taught to him by his wife Norayeep, it is clearly a traditional Bison dance ritual:

Ain't no stopping us now,
Were on the move
Ain't no stopping us now
We're on the hoof

There's been so many things that's held us down But now it looks like things are finally coming around I know we got a long, long way to go
And where we'll end up I don't know.
But we'll let nothing hold us back, we're putting ourselves together we're polishing up our tack

If you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore  

Don't you let nothing, nothing stand in your way. I want you all to listen, listen to every word I say, Every word I say!

Ain't no stopping us now,
Were on the move HUH!
Ain't no stopping us now
We're on the hoof!

Ain't no stopping us now
Were on the move, I know, I know.
Ain't no stopping us now.
We got the hooves, we're moving

We got it!  

I know you know someone who's in a rhinoceros tribe And if you try to make it they only push you aside. They really don't have no where to go
Ask them where they're going they don't know

Gonna put our ourselves together, polish up our tack

Don't you let nothing, nothing stand in your way I want you to listen, listen to every word I say, every word I say

Ain't no stopping us now
Were on the move
Ain't no stopping us now
We got the hooves.

Ain't no stopping us now HUH!
Were on the move
Ain't no stopping us now
We on the hoof.
