I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

I WANT HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS

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

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 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

Funny song for little children. They can sing then what they want for christmas.
