Karaoké I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas Postmodern Jukebox & Lauren Tyler Scott

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

I don't want a doll

No dinkey 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 in 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 what surprise

When I open up my eyes

And see my hippo hero just standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodile no rhinosauruses

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

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 a joy and what surprise

When I open up my eyes

And see my hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodile no rhinosauruse-ses

I only like hippopotamuse-ses

And hippopotamuses like me too hey

Hippopotamuses like me too
