It's Hippo Time Again!!!

 

 

I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

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 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!

    Hippos will not eat you, but hippos will kill you.
  • I bought my daughter a rubber Hippo for Christmas last year. She didn't get the joke. Maybe I should buy her one EVERY year until she gets it.
  • I've got this song on my YouTube Christmas/ Holiday/ Winter playlist. I has to create it because without WOXY.com this year, that means no WOXY Holiday mixer to stream. :(

    I used to listen to WOXY.com; It was the future of rock-n-roll! RIP WOXY

    [Alvin] Why can't we sing it again?
    [chipmunk chatter]
    [Dave] Alvin, cut that out..Theodore, just a minute.
    Simon will you cut that out? Boys...
  • Yes, my friends, IT'S HIPPO TIME AGAIN!!!!!

  • Pauley Perrette (Abby on NCIS) would be the perfect vocalist if the Hippo Song is ever remade.

    Meanwhile, this is not as funny, but definitely in the spirit of the season. Welcome Christmas, lyrics by Dr. Seuss.

    Da hoo dorais fa hoo dorais
    Welcome Christmas christmas day
    da hoo dorai fa hoo dorai
    Welcome Christmas, Christmas day
    Welcome, welcome fahoo ramus
    Welcome, welcome dahoo damus
    Christmas day is in our grasp
    So long as we have hands to clasp
    Fahoo fores dahoo dores
    Welcome Christmas bring your cheer
    Fahoo fores dahoo dores
    Welcome all Whos far and near
