| I want a hippopotamus for christmas |
| Only a hippopotamus will do |
| Don’t want a doll |
| No dinky dinker toy |
| I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy |
| I want a hippopotamus for christmas |
| I don’t think that’s a problem, why, do you? |
| He won’t have to use a dirty chimney broom |
| Just swing him through the front door- |
| That’s the easy thing to do! |
| I can see me now on christmas morning |
| Creeping down the stairs |
| What a joy and what surprise |
| When i open up my eyes |
| And see a hippo hero standing there |
| I want a hippopotamus for christmas |
| Only a hippopotamus will do |
| No crocodile, no rhinoceroses |
| I only like hippopotamuses! |
| And hippopotamuses like me too! |
| Mum says a hippo would eat me up for din, |
| Teacher says hippo is a vegetarian! |
| There’s lots of room for him |
| In with our car garage |
| I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his mustache |
| I can see me now on christmas morning |
| Creeping down the stairs |
| What a joy and what surprise |
| When i open up my eyes |
| And see a hippo hero standing there |
| I want a hippopatamus for christmas |
| Only a hippopatamus will do |
| No crocodile, no rhinoceroseses, |
| I only like hippopatamuseses! |
| And hippopatamuses like me too! |
