Leann Rimes - I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas lyrics

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 ma**age 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
