[00:09.23]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:14.11]Only a hippopotamus will do
[00:18.64]Don't want a doll no dinky tinker toy
[00:22.94]I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
[00:27.97]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:31.98]I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you
[00:36.59]He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue
[00:41.10]Just bring him in the front door
[00:42.96]That's the easiest thing to do
[00:45.20]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[00:50.77]Creeping down the stairs
[00:54.19]Oh what joy what surprise
[00:56.70]When I open up my eyes
[00:58.75]To see a hippo hero standing there
[01:03.76]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[01:08.64]Only a hippopotamus will do
[01:13.12]No crocodiles no rhinosauruses
[01:17.73]I only likes hippopotamuses
[01:21.94]And hippopotamuses like me too
[01:53.51]Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then
[01:58.14]Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
[02:11.61]There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
[02:16.02]I'll feed him there and
[02:17.48]Wash him there and give him his massage
[02:20.58]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[02:25.94]Creeping down the stairs
[02:29.31]Oh what joy what surprise
[02:31.83]When I open up my eyes
[02:33.91]To see a hippo hero standing there
[02:38.83]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[02:43.47]Only a hippopotamus will do
[02:48.34]No crocodiles no rhinosauruseses
[02:52.85]I only like hippopotamuses
[02:57.27]And hippopotamuses like me too
[03:01.62]And hippopotamuses like me too
[03:06.13]And hippopotamuses like me too
