I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

I don't want a dog no dinky Tinker Toy

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 a 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 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 hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

I can see me now on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh what a joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes

To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus I want a hippopotamus

I want it I want it I really really really want

A hippopotamus

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

I don't want a dog no dinky Tinker Toy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles no rhinoceroses

I only like hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like me too
