专辑:《I Want a 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 a joy and a 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

Mom says a hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

There's lots of room for him
In our two car garage
I'd feed him and then wash him
And then give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
What a joy and a 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

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Wan’ a hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Hip- hip- hip- hippopotamus
Mommy, I want a hippo!
NO~
No…don’t want a rhinoceros, I want a hippo!
NO~
I don’t want a Bangal tiger, I told you, I want a hippo!!
NO~
A house in Malibu with a porch, and a hippopotamus!!!
