I want a hippopotamus for Christmas,
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a Ball, no dinky Tinker Toy, I want a hippopotamus
to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas, I don't think Santa Claus
will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue, Just bring him through
the front door,
that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes, to see
a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas,
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses, I only like hippopotamuses, And
hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up,
but then, Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him, in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes, to see
a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas,
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses, I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too! |
