A Great Big World - I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas lyrics

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

 Only a hippopotamus will do

 I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy

 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 our 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 my hippo hero standing there

 I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

 Only a hippopotamus will do

 No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses

 I only like hippopotamuseses

 And hippopotamuses like me too

 I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

 a hippopotamus is all I want

 Mom says the hippo would eat me up

 But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

 I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

 The kind I saw this summer at the zoo

 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, what joy and what surprise

 When I open up my eyes

 To see my hippo hero standing there

 I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

 Only a hippopotamus will do

 No kangaroos or ducks or platypuses

 I only like hippopotamuses

 And hippopotamuses like me too
