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 Rhinoceroseses,
I Only Like Hippopotamuseses,
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, Or Rhinoceroseses,
I Only Like Hippopotamuses,
And Hippopotamuses Like Me Too!
