《The Hippopotamus Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hippopotamus Song - Ian Wallace/Celeste Holm

[00:00:04] A bold hippopotamus was standing one day

[00:00:09] On the banks of the cool Shalimar

[00:00:13] He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay

[00:00:16] By the light of the evening star

[00:00:21] Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair

[00:00:25] His fair hippopotami maid

[00:00:29] The hippopotamus was no ignoramus

[00:00:34] So sang her this sweet serenade

[00:00:41] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:00:45] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:00:49] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:00:54] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:01:03] The fair hippopotamus he aimed to entice

[00:01:08] From her seat on that hilltop above

[00:01:12] As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice

[00:01:16] Came tip toeing down to her love

[00:01:21] Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound

[00:01:26] Of the song that they sang as they met

[00:01:30] His inamorata and adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet

[00:01:40] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:01:44] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:01:48] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:01:54] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:02:03] Now more hippopotami began to convene

[00:02:07] On the banks of that river so wide

[00:02:11] I wonder now what am I to say of the scene

[00:02:15] That ensued by the Shalimar side

[00:02:19] They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh

[00:02:25] Then rose to the surface again

[00:02:29] A regular army of hippopot army

[00:02:34] All singing this haunting refrain

[00:02:40] Not to Charles

[00:02:42] Glorious mud

[00:02:44] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:02:48] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:02:53] And there let us wallow in glorious mud
