Hippo Stomp |
If I should go astray and say «I lost my way» nobody would know me |
But if I don’t believe I can and still say «Hear my plan» |
Somebody would follow just because it’s free |
We’re all Hippos rollin' down the river |
Sometimes we can’t touch the ground |
Like Hippos slidin' in the water |
Somehow we’re stompin' around |
If you should go astray and say «I lost my way» nobody will know you |
But if you don’t believe you can and still say «I'm your man» |
Somebody will follow just because it’s free |
We’re all Hippos rollin' down the river |
Sometimes we can’t touch the ground |
Like Hippos slindin' in the water |
Somehow we’re stompin' around |
Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp |
Any time I feel disgusted |
You’ll see me do the hippo stomp |
You stop and watch me while you’re out on your midnite romp |
And I can feel the silent question |
What the heck is the Hippo Stomp? |
Hey! |
Hey! |
You should try it when you’re feelin' blue |
Let me answer you and let me tell ya true |
Just how I feel when I’m down |
Sometimes I wonder |
You’ll see me stumblin' around |
But you just point and stare |
Come on let me hear ya |
Somewhere there’s a voice down inside |
And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question «why» |
Just because we live together |
We don’t have to like each other |
So please don’t fall asleep on me again |
Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure |
You just might never wake up from the dream |
Hey! |
Speak up let me hear ya |
Let me show you 'round the reservation |
I know my way around these parts |
I’ve lived here long enough |
Now you can have a taste, an indication |
Of things and times to come |
Early in the morning, late at night |
Somebody seems to know just how this thing work’s right |
'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody’s looking out my door |
He’s been snoopin' like a hound |
I’ll grab his neck and shake him on down |
Repeat Chorus |
Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp |
Any time I feel disgusted |
You’ll see me do the Hippo Stomp |
