My Secret Wish

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 or dirty chimney flue,

Just bring him through the door, that's the easy thing to do.

I can see me now on Chrismas morning, creeping down the stairs.

Oh, what 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 crodociles, or rhinoceroses.

I only like hippopotmuses,

And hippopotumuses like me too.

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian.

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 dow the stairs.

Oh, what 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, or rhinoceroseses.

I only like hippopotamuseses,

And hippopotamuses like me, too.

Okay, so I don't really want a hippopotamus for Christmas, but this is the funniest Christmas song that I have heard in a long while. They play it a lot on one of the local radio stations. It is hilarious.

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season, thus far. Merry Christmas!!!
