If You Love A Hippopotamus

If you love a hippopotamus And you love her a lot-amus She will be your friend (your friend) And that can be mighty handy now and then Cause if you’re stuck outside And you find that the door won’t budge Your friend the hippo can lean on it And give it that extra nudge Uuggghhhh Cause if you want a cookie But it’s too high on the shelf You can climb on the back of a hippopotamus And get one for yourself… And one for her too Cause if you’re put to bed And you find that you just can’t sleep Your friend the hippopotamus into your room will creep And she’ll sing you a lullaby ‘til you begin to snore Then she’ll tiptoe out hippopotamusly and slam the door Wham! --- If You Love a Hippopotamus - Connie Kaldor
