I desire a hippopotamus for Christmas Merely a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll, no dinkey tinker toy I desire a hippopotamus to play with and savour  I want a hippopotamus for Christmas I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? He won't have to apply a dingy chimney flue Only bring him through the front door That's the piece of cake thing to exercise  I can encounter me now on Christmas morning Creeping downwardly the stairs Oh what joy, what surprise When I open upward my eyes To see a hippo hero continuing in that location  I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Simply a hippopotamus volition do No crocodiles, no rhinosauruses I only likes hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses similar me, likewise  Mom says a hippo, would consume me up but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian  At that place'due south lots of room for him in our two-car garage I'd feed him there and wash him in that location and give him his massage  I can see me now on Christmas forenoon Creeping down the stairs Oh what joy, 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 practise No crocodiles, or rhinosauruseses I but likes hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me, too
