Rend Collective - I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Lyrics

Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus Hippo, hippo, hippopotamus Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus Hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

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 And see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too

Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus Hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus Hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

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 And see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too

And hippopotamuses like me too

And hippopotamuses like me too
