I want a hippopotamus for Christmas |
| [00:13.000] |
Only a hippopotamus will do |
| [00:17.490] |
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy |
| [00:21.490] |
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy |
| [00:25.490] |

| [00:29.490] |
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? |
| [00:33.490] |
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue |
| [00:38.490] |
Just bring him through the front door |
| [00:40.490] |
That's the easy thing to do |
| [00:42.490] |
I can see me now on Christmas morning |
| [00:47.490] |
Creeping down the stairs |
| [00:51.490] |
Oh, what joy and what surprise |
| [00:52.490] |
When I open up my eyes |
| [00:54.490] |
To see my hippo hero standing there |
| [00:58.490] |
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas |
| [01:03.000] |
Only a hippopotamus will do |
| [01:07.000] |
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroses |
| [01:10.490] |
I only like hippopotamuses |
| [01:16.490] |
And hippopotamuses like me too |
| [01:27.490] |
Mom says the hippo would eat me up |
| [01:29.490] |
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian |
| [01:43.490] |
there's lots of room for him in our two car garage |
| [01:48.490] |
I'd feed him there and wash him there |
| [01:51.490] |
And give him his massage |
| [01:54.490] |
I can see me now on Christmas morning |
| [01:56.490] |
