Great Big World, A - I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Lyrics






I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a dog, no inky dinker 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 our 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 the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
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 rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

    Even though they are herbivores they are also extremely territorial and have been recoded killing crocodiles and other large predators with their large jaws and tusks. Usually hippopotamuses are herd animals and will behave extremely aggressively to outsider males trying to mate with the females by fighting with their tusks until the other runs away.

  90. r.... ....

    I for one wouldn't recommend Hippopotamus for christmas
    Not only are they very large, expensive to maintain and feed and entirely unsuited to life in suburbia but they are the most deadly land animal in Africa in terms of human fatalities.
    You think that that makes a good Christmas pet because i don't!

  91. D.... S....

    河马... 哈哈哈哈
