0:08I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
0:13Only a hippopotamus will do
0:17Don't want a doll no dinky tinkertoy
0:21I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
0:25I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
0:29I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you
0:33He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
0:37Just bring him through the front door
0:40That's the easy thing to do
0:41I can see me now on Christmas morning
0:46Creeping down the stairs
0:50Oh what joy and what surprise
0:52When I open up my eyes
0:54To see a hippo hero standing there
0:58I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
1:03Only a hippopotamus will do
1:07No crocodiles no rhinoceroses
1:11I only like hippopotamuses
1:15And hippopotamuses like me too
1:28Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then
1:32Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
1:44There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
1:48I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
1:52I can see me now on Christmas morning
1:57Creeping down the stairs
2:01Oh what joy and what surprise
2:03When I open up my eyes
2:05To see a hippo hero standing there
2:09I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
2:13Only a hippopotamus will do
2:18No crocodiles no rhinoceroses
2:22I only like hippopotamuses
2:26And hippopotamuses like me too
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do 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 a hippo hero standing there I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too Mom says the hippo would eat me up but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian 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 a hippo hero standing there I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too
