I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
Gayla Peevey
Key : D
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G | D 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
G  G
 I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
                         D7
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy
  A7                                     D
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

[Verse 2]
---------------------
  G
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
                                        D7
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
     A7                                                         D
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do

[Bridge]
---------------------
      G7            C
I can see me now on Christmas morning
G7                 C
Creeping down the stairs
         D7
Oh, what joy and what surprise
       G
When I open up my eyes
         A7         D7
To see a hippo hero standing there

[Verse 3]
---------------------
  G
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
                         D7
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
A7                   D
I only like hippopotamuses
    A7       D7            G  G D7
And hippopotamuses like me too

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D7
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
   A7                             D
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

[Verse 5]
---------------------
G D7        D7
    There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
    A7                                                    D
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage



[Outro]
---------------------
  G
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
                         D7
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
A7                   D
I only like hippopotamuseses
    A7       D7            G  D7 G
And hippopotamuses like me too
