[Verse 1]
[G]I w[A]ant[D] a[G]
hippopotamus for Christmas.
A hippopotamus is all I [Adim]want.
[D]Don't want a doll, no dinky dinker toy.
I [A]want a [Bm]hippo[A]potamus
to play with and en[D]joy.
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas.
I don't think Santa Claus will mind,
[D]do you?
[Abdim]He won't [D]have to use
our dirty chimney flue
Just [A]bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to [D]do
I can [G]see me [Bm]now on
[C]Christmas morn[Am]ing
[F]Creeping [G]down the [C]stairs
[D]Oh, what joy and what surprise
When I [Bm]open up my [Em]eyes
To see a [Am]hip p[B]o [Cdim]hero sta[C#dim]nd ing th[D]ere
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will [A]do[D]
No crocodiles or rhinoceroses.
[A]I o[Bm]nly l[A]ike h[D]ippopotamuses.
And [A]hippopot[D]amuses like me [G]too.[D]
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas.
A hippopotamus is all I [Asus4]want.[D]
Mom says a hippo would eat me up
but then, [A]teach[B]er says a
[A]hippo is a vegetarian.
[D]I w[G]ant a hippopotamus for Christmas
The kind I saw last summer in the [Asus4]zoo
[D]We got a car with room for two
in our two -car garage
I'd [A]feed him [B]there and [A]wash him there
and give him his mas[D]sage
I can [G]see me now on
[C]Christmas morn[Am]ing
[F]Creeping [G]down the [C]stairs
[G]Oh, [Am]what joy a[D]nd what surprise
When I [Bm]open up my [Em]eyes
to see a [A]hip[B]po [Cdim]hero st[C#dim]and ing th[D]ere
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will [Asus4]do
[D]No kangaroos or duffleponna -pusses
[A]I o[Bm]nly l[A]ike hippopotamuses
[D]And hip[A]popotamu[D]ses like me too[G]!
