I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas (Hippo The Hero)
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
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, 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 rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me, too
Yeah
Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says the hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'll 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, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas (I want a hippopotamus for Christmas)
Only a hippopotamus will do (only a hippopotamus will do)
No crocoduzzles or rhi-na-na-nozeruses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses (and hippopotamuses)
Hippopotamuses like me, too
They do
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
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, 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 rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me, too
Yeah
Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says the hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'll 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, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas (I want a hippopotamus for Christmas)
Only a hippopotamus will do (only a hippopotamus will do)
No crocoduzzles or rhi-na-na-nozeruses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses (and hippopotamuses)
Hippopotamuses like me, too
They do
