[Verse 1]
[G]Now[D] th[G]e bold
Hippopotamus
was standing [Bm]one day
[G]By the banks of the cool [D]Shalimar
He gazed [G]at the bottom [D]as it [G]peacefully lay
By the [D]light of the evening star
While high on a hilltop sat combing her hair
[E]His [A]fair Hippo[D]potami maid
[Am]This Hippopo[D]tamus was no ignoramus
And sang her this [A]sweet [D]serenade
[G]Mud, mud, glorious [C]mud
[D]There's not[G]hing quite lik[A]e it
for [D]cooling the blood
So fol[G]low me,
follow [Am]down to the hollow
An[C]d there let us w[G]allow in
[Am]glori[D]ous [G]mud.[C][Am][D]
Now the fair hippopotama
[G]he meant to entice
[Bm]From her s[D]eat on the hilltop above.
As [G]she [D]had not got a ma
to give her ad[G]vice
[D]She came tiptoeing down to her [A]love.[D]
Like thunder[A], the f[D]orestry echoed the sound
of the song that they sang as they [Am]met.
His [D]enamorata adjusted her gata
and lifted her voice in [A]duet.[D]
[G]Mud, mud, glori[C]ous [D]mud,
there's [G]nothing quite [A]like it
for [D]cooling the blood.
So fol[G]low me, follow, [C]down to the [Am]hollow,
[G]and [C]there let [G]us wallow in
[Am]glori[D]ous [G]mud.[C][D]
Then more hippopotami
began to convene,
by the banks of that river so wide.
Now, I wonder what am I to say of the scene,
that ensued by the Shalimar side.
They dived all at once
with an ear -splitting [E]splosh[D]
And rose to the surface [Am]again
A [D]regular army of hippopotami
All chanting this [A]haunting refrain
[D]Mud[G], mud, glorious[C] mud[D]
There's [G]nothing quite [A]like it
for cooling [D]the blood
So fol[G]low me, follow,
[C]down [Am]to the hollow
And [C]there [G]let us wallow in
[D]glor[Am]i ou[D]s mud

[Outro 1]
