All I Want For Christmas Is a Hippopotamus

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
A hippopotamus is all I want
I don't want a dog, no rinoceros
All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
A hippopotamus is all I want
I don't wanna a dog
'cause dogs are such a fuss
All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
What a joy of a surprise
When I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
A hippopotamus is all I want
I don't want a dog, no rinoceros
All I want for Christmas is a hippopotamus
And a hippopotamus wants me too
