I want a hippopotamus for christmas
A hippopotamus is all i want
I don't want a dog or a rhinoceros
All i want for christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too
I want a hippopotamus for christmas
A hippopotamus is all i want
I don't want a dog cuz dogs are such a fuss
All i want for christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too
I can see me now on christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
And because i looked surprised
When i open up my eyes
I see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for christmas
A hippopotamus is all i want
I don't want a dog no rhinoceros
All i want for christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too
