Lyrics<\/h2>\n

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
\nOnly a hippopotamus will do
\nDon’t want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
\nI want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy<\/p>\n

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
\nI don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
\nHe won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
\nJust bring him through the front door, that’s the easy thing to do<\/p>\n

I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
\nOh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
\nTo see a hippo hero standing there<\/p>\n

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
\nOnly a hippopotamus will do
\nNo crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
\nI only like hippopotamuses
\nAnd hippopotamuses like me too<\/p>\n

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
\nTeacher says a hippo is a vegeterian<\/p>\n

There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage
\nI’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
\nI can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
\nOh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
\nTo see a hippo hero standing there<\/p>\n

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
\nOnly a hippopotamus will do
\nNo crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
\nI only like hippopotamuseses
\nAnd hippopotamuses like me too!<\/p>\n
