Hippopotamus Song

It must be lots of fun
To weigh more than a ton
The hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
It must be really neat
To eat and eat and eat
Like the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

A hippo isn't handsome
He isn't cute at all
But when he goes in for a swim
He really has a ball

It must be really slick
To have a skin so thick
As the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
It must be great we say
To sleep most of the day
Like the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

No other beast we know
Could ever stand a show
With the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus

A little baby hippo
Could last a dozen rounds
The very minute that he's born
He weighs five hundred pounds

With such tremendous feet
Nobody can compete
With the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
With the hippo, hippo, hippo, hippopotamus
