I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

Last time my group drove in Driver's Ed, this really weird song kept playing. But to start out, Destinee was disappointed because all she wanted to do was sing Christmas songs, and none of them had any words. So we just rode in silence. Then the car breaks out in laughter because a song with words cam one. It was the weirdest song. It was about hippos. And even though nobody knew the words, we all attempted to sing along.

I can say we all had a good time.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
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 our 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 joy and what surprisewhen I open up my eyesto see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for ChristmasOnly a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
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 eyesto see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!


And the song was sung as a female solo, that sounded like a young girl from the 80's with her nose all stopped up.
But oh well, we all had a good time.
