I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

In the style of

Gayla Peevey

Lyrics

i wanna
hippopotamus
for christmas
only a hippopotamus
will do

don't want a doll
no dinky tinkertoy
i wanna hippopotamus
to play with and enjoy

i wanna 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
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 crocodile
no rhinoceroses
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 stair

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 crocodile
or rhinoceroses
i only like
hippopotamuses
and hippopotamuses
like me too
