Who wants a hippo for Christmas? Check out this Christmas song where a kid asks for a present, a hippo. The child doesn’t want a doll or a toy but just a hippo to play with.
Song lyrics:
I want a hippo for Christmas
Only a hippo can do it
Don’t want a doll, no dull Tinker Toy
I want a hippo to play with and enjoy
I want a hippo for Christmas
I don’t think Santa will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney
Just get him through the front door,
it’s easy to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
climb down the stairs
Oh joy and surprise
when i open my eyes
saw a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippo for Christmas
Only a hippo can do it
No crocodiles, no rhinos
I just love hippos
And hippo like me
Mom said hippo would eat me, but then
The teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian.
(Short piece of music)
There’s plenty of room for him in our two-car garage
I will feed him there and wash him there and give him a massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
climb down the stairs
Oh joy and surprise
when i open my eyes
saw a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippo for Christmas
Only a hippo can do it
No crocodiles or rhinos
I just love hippos
And hippos like me too!
