I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (Hippo the Hero) - Gayla Peevey

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a dog

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

Mom says the hippo would eat me up

But then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

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

To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses

I only like hippopotamuseses

And hippopotamuses like me too
