[00:17.13]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:19.78]
[00:21.61]Only a hippopotamus will do
[00:23.49]
[00:25.70]Don't want a doll
[00:26.59]
[00:27.45]No dinky tinker toy
[00:28.55]
[00:29.45]I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
[00:32.64]
[00:33.27]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[00:36.30]
[00:37.54]I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you
[00:40.10]
[00:41.93]He won't have to use
[00:42.96]
[00:43.77]A dirty chimney flue
[00:44.94]
[00:45.97]Just bring him through the front door
[00:47.75]That's the easy thing to do
[00:49.19]
[00:49.80]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[00:53.62]
[00:54.22]Creeping down the stairs
[00:56.15]
[00:58.07]Oh what joy and what surprise
[00:59.92]When I open up my eyes
[01:01.77]To see a hippo hero standing there
[01:05.46]
[01:06.00]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[01:08.94]
[01:10.53]Only a hippopotamus will do
[01:12.70]
[01:14.40]No crocodiles
[01:15.45]
[01:16.46]No rhinoceroses
[01:17.74]
[01:18.66]I only like hippopotamuses
[01:21.84]
[01:22.61]And hippopotamuses like me too
[01:25.07]
[01:35.23]Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then
[01:38.27]
[01:39.16]Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
[01:42.24]
[01:51.60]There's lots of room for him
[01:52.46]
[01:53.36]In our two car garage
[01:54.73]
[01:55.44]I'd feed him there
[01:56.47]And wash him there
[01:57.54]And give him his massage
[01:59.26]I can see me now on Christmas morning
[02:03.08]
[02:03.66]Creeping down the stairs
[02:05.60]
[02:07.56]Oh what joy and what surprise
[02:09.34]When I open up my eyes
[02:11.30]To see a hippo hero standing there
[02:14.93]
[02:15.50]I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
[02:18.49]
[02:20.08]Only a hippopotamus will do
[02:22.17]
[02:24.15]No crocodiles
[02:25.36]
[02:26.17]Or rhinoceroses
[02:27.38]
[02:28.13]I only like hippopotamuses
[02:31.36]
[02:32.19]And hippopotamuses like me too
