Hippopotamus For Christmas (Dragon Special) Lyrics

Hippopotamus!!!!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas! RAH!

Only a hippopotamus will do!

I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmus! RAH!

I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?

He won't have to use our dirty chimney flues!

Dirty chimney flue! BLEAGH!

Just bring him through the front door.

That's the easy thing to do.

Hippopotamus!

I can see me now on Christmas morning.

Creeping down the.. STAAAIRSSS!

Oh, what joy and what surprise.

When I open up my eyes.

To see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus! RAAAGH!

I want a hippopotamus for Chris-mus

Only a hippopotamus will do

No croc-o-diles, or rhinoceroseses!

I only like hippopotamuseses

Us-es-es

And hippopotamuses like me too

Hippopotamuses!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas! RAH!

a hippopotamus is all I want

Mom says the hippo would eat me up EAT! ME! UP!!

But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarien

WHAT THE HECK MOM!?

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas! RAH!

The kind I saw this summer at the zoo

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 massageses

Hippo Hero! BLEAGH!

I can see me now on Christmas morning

CREEPING DOWN THE STAAAIRS!

Oh, what joy and what surprise

When I open up my eyes

To..

See my hippo hero standing there! RAH!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas.....

Only a hippopotamus will do......

No crocodiles!

Or rhinoceroseses!

I only like hippopotamuses!

And hippopotamuses like me too!

Raaaaaaaaaahhahahha!

Hippopotamuses!

BLEAUGH!
