I want a hippopotamus for christmas
Only A hippopotamus will do
I 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 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 rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses

Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

We've got a lot of room in our 2 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 Crocodiles or Rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
