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 en- joy
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 hippopota- muses
And hippopota- muses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeteri- an
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, no rhinoceroseses; I only like hippopota- museses
And hippopota- muses like me too.
