《The Hippopotamus Song (Interpretation)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hippopotamus Song (Interpretation) - Studio Artist

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

[00:00:08] On the banks of the cool shalimar

[00:00:12] He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay

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

[00:00:20] Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair

[00:00:24] His fair hippopotami maid

[00:00:28] The hippopotamus was no ignoramus

[00:00:32] And sang her this sweet serenade

[00:00:37] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:00:41] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:00:44] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:00:48] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:00:57] The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice

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

[00:01:05] As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice

[00:01:09] Came tip toeing down to her love

[00:01:13] Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound

[00:01:17] Of the song that they sang as they met

[00:01:21] His inamorata adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet

[00:01:30] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:01:34] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:01:37] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:01:42] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:01:50] Now more hippopotami began to convene

[00:01:54] On the banks of that river so wide

[00:01:58] I wonder now what am i to say of the scene

[00:02:02] That ensued by the shalimar side

[00:02:06] They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh

[00:02:10] Then rose to the surface again

[00:02:14] A regular army of hippopot army

[00:02:18] All singing this haunting refrain

[00:02:23] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:02:27] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:02:30] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:02:35] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:02:39] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:02:43] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:02:47] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:02:51] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:02:55] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:02:59] And there let us wallow in glorious mud
