Gretchen Wilson I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas Lyrics

I want a hippopatamus for Christmas
And only a hippopatumus will do
Don't want a doll no dinky tinker toy
I want a hippopatumus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopatumus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus 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 enjoying one surprise
When I open up my eyes to see
A hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopatumus for Christmas
And only a hippopatumus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses I only like hippopatumuses
And hippopatumuses 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 enjoying one surprise
When I open up my eyes to see
A hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
And only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
Or rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
