I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a dog, or any Tinker-toys
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa 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 a joy, what a surprise, when I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodile 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
(Kazoo solo)
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 a joy, what a surprise, when I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocoduzzles or rhin-na-na-ceruzzlses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses (Hippopotamuses)
Hippopotamuses like me too, yeah
