I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll, 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 vegeterian. 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!
