I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Lyrics - One Christmas:chapter One - Leann Rimes

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 

Only a hippopotamus will do 

Don't want a doll 

No dinky tinker toys 

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 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 

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 

And see a hippo hero standing there 

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 

Only a hippopotamus will do 

No crocodiles 

Or rhinoceroses-es 

I only like hippopotamuses-es 

And hippopotamuses like me too
