Hippo

(Intro)

Hippo! Hippo!

Happy little hippo!

(Verse 1)

I’m a happy little hippo, big and round,

I splash-splash-splash where water is found.

Wiggle my ears, wiggle my nose,

Wiggle my tail and wiggle my toes!

(Chorus)

Hip-hip-hippo, happy and bright,

I play all day, then sleep at night.

Stomp, stomp, stomp — I love to play,

In the mud and in the bay!

(Verse 2)

I eat green grass, I chew all day,

Then I yawn-yawn-yawn and swim away.

Big front teeth and tiny eyes,

I’m the cutest hippo — no surprise!

(Chorus)

Hip-hip-hippo, happy and bright,

I play all day, then sleep at night.

Stomp, stomp, stomp — I love to play,

In the mud and in the bay!

(Bridge – Call & Response style)

Can you stomp like a hippo? (STOMP! STOMP!)

Can you splash like a hippo? (SPLASH! SPLASH!)

Can you yawn like a hippo? (YAWN so big!)

Now dance like a hippo — do a jig!

(Final Chorus)

Hip-hip-hippo, happy and sweet,

Wiggle your body and move your feet!

Wave goodbye with a great big grin,

The hippo fun will soon begin!

(Outro)

Hippo! Hippo!

See you soon, happy hippo!
