Текст песни I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas - Kacey Musgraves

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 our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas 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 hippopoptamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses,
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Mom says a 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 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 crocodiles
Or rhinoceroses-es
I only like hippopotamuses-es
And hippopotamuses like me too
