[00:08.56]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:13.20]Only a hippopotamus will do
[00:17.35]I don't want a doll no dinky Tinkertoy
[00:21.44]I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
[00:25.47]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:30.02]I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you
[00:34.04]He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
[00:38.33]Just bring him through the front door
[00:40.36]That's the easy thing to do
[00:42.41]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[00:47.20]Creeping down the stairs
[00:50.77]Oh what joy and what surprise
[00:52.94]When I open up my eyes
[00:54.76]To see my hippo hero standing there
[00:59.53]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[01:03.90]Only a hippopotamus will do
[01:08.14]No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
[01:12.32]I only like hippopotamuseses
[01:16.38]And hippopotamuses like me too
[01:29.20]Mom says the hippo would eat me up
[01:32.08]But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
[01:45.87]There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
[01:49.74]I'd feed him there and wash him there
[01:52.11]And give him his massage
[01:54.01]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[01:58.67]Creeping down the stairs
[02:02.43]Oh what joy and what surprise
[02:04.41]When I open up my eyes
[02:06.40]To see my hippo hero standing there
[02:10.98]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[02:15.45]Only a hippopotamus will do
[02:19.66]No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
[02:23.67]I only like hippopotamuses
[02:27.68]And hippopotamuses like me too
