I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas - Fisher-Price

I want a hippopotamus for christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll

No inky dinker 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 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

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

I want a hippopotamus for christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll 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

Oh what joy and what surprise

When i open up my eyes

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

And hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like me too
