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