CHRISTMAS SONG

“I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS
FOR CHRISTMAS”
REND CO. KIDS


Written by John Rox.


Hippo, hippo, hippo... potamus!

Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
Hippo, hippo, hippo... potamus
Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
Hippo, hippo, hippo... potamus

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

Hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
Hippo, hippo, hippo... potamus
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
