Hippo Stomp - Steppenwolf
Written by：Larry Byrom/John Kay/Jerry Edmonton
If I should go astray
And say I lost my way
Nobody would know me
But if I don't believe I can and still say
Hear my plan
Somebody would follow just because it's free
We're all hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like hippos slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around
Now you can see me
Lyin' down in my swamp
Any time I feel disgusted
You'll see me do the hippo stomp
Hey hey
You can try it when you're feelin' blue
If you should go astray
And say I lost my way
Nobody will know you
But if you don't believe you can and still say
I'm your man
Somebody will follow just because it's free
We're all hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like hippos slindin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around
You stop and watch me
While you're out on your midnite romp
And I can feel the silent question
What the heck is the hippo stomp
Let me answer you
And let me tell ya true
Just how I feel when I'm down
Sometimes I wonder
You'll see me
Stumblin' around
But you just point and stare
Come on
Let me hear ya
Somewhere there's a voice down inside
And when you find it
Let it teach you
How to ask the question why
Just because we live together
We don't have to like each other
So please don't fall asleep on me again
Nobody nobody nobody knows for sure
You just might never wake up from the dream
Hey
Speak up let me hear
Yaa
You let me show you 'round the reservation
I know my way around these parts
I've lived here long enough
And let been have a taste
An indication
Of things and times to come
If you should go astray
And say I lost my way
Nobody will know you
But if you don't believe you can and still say I'm your man
Somebody will follow just because it's free
Early in the morning late at night
Somebody seems to know just how this
Thing work's right
'Cause every time I come around the
Corner somebody's looking out my door
He's been snoopin' like a hound
I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
We're all hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like hippos slindin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around
We're all hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like hippos slindin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around
We're all hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like hippos slindin' in the water
