| I want a hippopotamus for Christmas |
| Only a hippopotamus will do Don’t want a doll |
| No donkey tinker toy |
| I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy |
| I want a hippopotamus for Christmas |
| I don’t think Santa Clause will mind do you |
| He won’t have to use |
| A dirty chimney fleu |
| 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 a 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 swing it Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then |
| Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian |
| 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 a 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 rhinoceroses |
| I only like hippopotamuses |
| And hippopotamuses like me too |
