I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

Written by John Rox

	  		


   E 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
                          B 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
   B 
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy 
   F#m                     B            
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy 

   E 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
                                         B 
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? 
    B 
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue 
       F#m 
Just bring him through the front door 
           B 
That's the easy thing to do 

       E               A 
I can see me now on Christmas morning 
  E                 A 
Creeping down the stairs 
          B        
Oh, what joy and what surprise 
       E 
When I open up my eyes 
           E           B 
To see my hippo hero standing there 

   E                       
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
                          B 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
 B 
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses 
F#m          B 
I only like hippopotamuseses 
     A        B          E 
And hippopotamuses like me too 

E B F#m B 
E B 

 B 
Mom says the hippo would eat me up 
          F#m                             
But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian 

       E               A 
I can see me now on Christmas morning 
  E                 A 
Creeping down the stairs 
          B        
Oh, what joy and what surprise 
       E 
When I open up my eyes 
           E           B 
To see my hippo hero standing there 

   E                      F 
I want a hippopotamus, I want a hippopotamus 
          F#              G 
I want a hip.., I want a hip... 
   Ab            A      Bb     B 
I really really really want a hippopotamus 

   E 
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas 
                          B 
Only a hippopotamus will do 
   B 
I don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy 
   F#m                     B            
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy 
  
 E 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                         B 
La la la la la la la la la 
 B 
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses 
F#m          B 
I only like hippopotamuseses 
     A        B          E     A B E 
And hippopotamuses like me too 
   E 
Christmas....!!!
