Hippopotamus, The

Song Lyrics & Words

What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?
It's not a party with a paper hat.
Or cake and candy that will make him fat.
That's not what hippos do!

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes.
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.
That's what hippos do!

What can make a hippopotamus smile?
What can make him walk for more than a mile?
It's not the song on the old violin.
Or listenin' to the whistlin' wind.
That's not what hippos do!

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes.
They wade in the water 'til their lips turn blue.
That's what hippos do!
