[00:00:08] I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

[00:00:13] Only a hippopotamus will do

[00:00:17] Don't want a doll no dinkey tinker toy

[00:00:21] I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

[00:00:25] I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

[00:00:30] I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you

[00:00:34] He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue

[00:00:38] Just bring him through the front door

[00:00:40] That's the easy thing to do

[00:00:42] I can see me now on Christmas morning

[00:00:47] Creeping down the stairs

[00:00:50] Oh what joy what surprise

[00:00:53] When I open up my eyes

[00:00:55] To see a hippo hero standing there

[00:00:59] I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

[00:01:04] Only a hippopotamus will do

[00:01:08] No crocodiles no rhinosauruses

[00:01:12] I only likes hippopotamuses

[00:01:16] And hippopotamuses like me too

[00:01:29] Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then

[00:01:33] Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

[00:01:46] There's lots of room for him in our two car garage

[00:01:50] I'd feed him there and wash him there

[00:01:52] And give him his massage

[00:01:54] I can see me now on Christmas morning

[00:01:59] Creeping down the stairs

[00:02:02] Oh what joy what surprise

[00:02:04] When I open up my eyes

[00:02:06] To see a hippo hero standing there

[00:02:11] I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

[00:02:15] Only a hippopotamus will do

[00:02:19] No crocodiles or rhinosauruseses

[00:02:24] I only likes hippopotamuses

[00:02:28] And hippopotamuses like me too
