'I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will doI don't want a doll, no dinky TinkertoyI want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasI don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?He won't have to use our dirty chimney flueJust bring him through the front doorThat's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morningCreeping down the stairsOh, what joy and what surpriseWhen I open up my eyesTo see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will doNo crocodiles, or rhinocerosesesI only like hippopotamusesesAnd hippopotamuses like me too
I want a hippopotamus for Christmasa hippopotamus is all I wantMom says the hippo would eat me upBut then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasThe kind I saw this summer at the zoothere's lots of room for him in our two car garageI'd feed him there and wash him thereAnd give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morningCreeping down the stairsOh, what joy and what surpriseWhen I open up my eyesTo see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will doNo crocodiles, or rhinocerosesesI only like hippopotamusesAnd hippopotamuses like me too.'
Have a really great week.
I have loved that song ever first I heard it a few years ago. It's just so... quirkily perfect! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou welcome, me too I have always loved that one.
DeleteIt's a fun song. DGD and I turn up the sound when it plays. Unfortunately, it causes a huge earworm. 😉😉
