[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will [D]do
Don't want a doll, no dinky TinkerToy
I [A]want a hippopotamus to play with and en[D]joy

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

[Bridge 1]
I can [G]see me now on [C]Christmas morning
[G]Creeping down the [C]stairs
Oh what [D]joy and what surprise
When I [G]open up my eyes
To see a [A]hippo hero [D]standing there

[Verse 3]
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will [D]do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
[A]I only like hippopotam[D]uses
And [A]hippopota[D]muses
like me [G]too[Am][D]

[Verse 4]
[G][G][G][D]
[D]Mom says a hippo
would eat me up, but then
[A]Teacher says a hippo is a vegetari[D]an

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

[Bridge 2]
I can [G]see me now on [C]Christmas morning
[G]Creeping down the [C]stairs
Oh what [D]joy and what surprise
When I [G]open up my eyes
To see a [A]hippo hero [D]standing there

[Verse 6]
I [G]want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will [D]do
No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses
[A]I only like hippopotam[D]useses
And [A]hippopota[D]muses like me [G]too[Am][D][G]
