I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas - LeAnn Rimes

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll

No dinky tinker toy

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you

He won't have to use

A dirty chimney flue

Just bring him through the front door

That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise

When I open up my eyes

To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles

No rhinoceroses

I only like hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

Jingle bells jingle bells

Jingle all the way

There's lots of room for him

In our two car garage

I'd feed him there

And wash him there

And give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning

Creeping down the stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise

When I open up my eyes

To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles

Or rhinoceroses

I only like hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses lik
