Hippopotamus

There's a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus in my pool

There's a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus in my pool

I don't know

How did it get there, how did it get there, how did it get there?

I don't know

There's a book by Anonymous, a book by Anonymous, a book by Anonymous in my pool

There's a book by Anonymous, a book by Anonymous, and a hippopotamus in my pool

A hippy is driving, a hippy is driving

A drippy ol' hippy, poor, poor guy

A hippy is driving, a hippy is driving

Someone one wearing a slim-fitty suit

Someone must have thought, oh, what a laugh

Throw in a hippo and then a giraffe

There is Titus Andronicus, Titus Andronicus, Titus Andronicus in my pool

Excellent swimmer, excellent swimmer

Looking much trimmer than I'd thought

No not me

Not that I'm prejudiced, not that I'm prejudiced, not that I'm prejudiced

That's not me
