Lyrics
0:18If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know me
0:29But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan"
0:36Somebody would follow just because it's free
0:44We're all Hippos rolling' down the river
0:47Sometimes we can't touch the ground
0:50Like Hippos sliding' in the water
0:53Somehow we're stomping' around
0:56Now you can see me lying' down in my swamp
1:01Any time I feel disgusted
1:04You'll see me do the hippo stomp
1:07Hey Hey You should try it when you're feeling' blue
1:13If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you
1:23But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"
1:30Somebody will follow just because it's free
1:38We're all Hippos rolling' down the river
1:42Sometimes we can't touch the ground
1:44Like Hippos sliding' in the water
1:47Somehow we're stomping' around
1:50You stop and watch me while you're out on your midnight romp
1:56And I can feel the silent question
1:59What the heck is the Hippo Stomp
2:02Let me answer you and let me tell ya true
2:08Just how I feel when I'm down
2:15Sometimes I wonder
2:20You'll see me stumbling' around
2:26But you just point and stare
2:33Come on let me hear ya
2:38Somewhere there's a voice down inside
2:43And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question "why"
2:54Just because we live together
2:57We don't have to like each other
3:00So please don't fall asleep on me again
3:05Nobody nobody nobody knows for sure
3:12You just might never wake up from the dream
3:17Hey Speak up let me hear ya
3:21Hey Let me you show around on the reservation
3:28I know my way around these parts
3:31I've lived here long enough
3:34Now you can have a taste an indication
3:38Of things and times to come
3:53If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you
4:05But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"
4:12Somebody will follow just because it's free
4:44Early in the morning late at night
4:49Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right
4:54'Cause every time come I around the corner
4:57Somebody's looking out my door
5:00He's been snooping like a hound
5:02I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
5:05We're all Hippos rolling' down the river
5:08Sometimes we can't touch the ground
5:11Like Hippos sliding' in the water
5:14Somehow we're stomping' around
5:16We're all Hippos rolling' down the river
5:19Sometimes we can't touch the ground
5:22Like Hippos sliding' in the water
5:25Somehow we're stomping' around
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 rolling' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos sliding' in the water Somehow we're stomping' around Now you can see me lying' down in my swamp Any time I feel disgusted You'll see me do the hippo stomp Hey Hey You should try it when you're feeling' blue 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 rolling' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos sliding' in the water Somehow we're stomping' around You stop and watch me while you're out on your midnight romp And I can feel the silent question What the heck is the Hippo Stomp 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 stumbling' 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 Hey Let me you show around on 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 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 Early in the morning late at night Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right 'Cause every time come I around the corner Somebody's looking out my door He's been snooping like a hound I'll grab his neck and shake him on down We're all Hippos rolling' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos sliding' in the water Somehow we're stomping' around We're all Hippos rolling' down the river Sometimes we can't touch the ground Like Hippos sliding' in the water Somehow we're stomping' around
