I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Lyrics - Gretchen Wilson

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 

Only a hippopotamus will do 

Don't want a doll 

No donkey tinker toy 

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 

I don't think Santa Clause will mind do you 

He won't have to use 

A dirty chimney fleu 

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 a 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 swing it 

Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then 

Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian 

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 a 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 like me too
