G                                                           D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7                                        A                      D7              D
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy; I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
  G                                                                          D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
   D7
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
     A                                            D7            D
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do


      G7            C                  G7                C
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
        D7                            G
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes
         A          D        D7
to see a hippo hero standing there


  G                                                           D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7                              A7          D7       D
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses; I only like hippopotamuses
    A7       D7            G
And hippopotamuses like me too

Interlude (x2): G G D

D7
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
A7                       D7       D
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

Interlude (x2): G G D

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


      G7            C                  G7                C
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
        D7                            G
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes
         A          D        D7
to see a hippo hero standing there


  G                                                           D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7                                A7          D7       D
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroseses; I only like hippopotamuseses
    A7       D7            G
And hippopotamuses like me too
