I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
G         Em             D
Only a hippopotamus will do
D7                     D
Don't want a doll, no dinkey tinker toy
A                       D                D7
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy



G          Em             G
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
G                  Em                D
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
 D7                   D
He won't have to use a dirty chimney flue
    A
Just bring him through the front door
           D             D7
That's the easy thing to do



G7                  C
I can see me now on Christmas morning
G7                C
Creeping down the stairs
D         
Oh what joy, what surprise
       G
When I open up my eyes
         A7    D        D7
To see a hippo hero standing there



G          Em         G

Only a hippopotamus will do
 D7               D
No crocodiles, no rhinosauruses
A                D          
I only likes hippopotamuses
A           D               G
And hippopotamuses like me, too



D7                      D
Mom says a hippo, would eat me up but then
A                             D7
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian



D7                              D
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
A                      A7                              D7
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage



G7                  C
I can see me now on Christmas morning
G7                C
