Elmo wants a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy

Elmo wants a hippopotamus to play with him and enjoy



Elmo wants a hippopotamus for Christmas

Don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?

He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue

Just bring him through the front door,

That's the easy thing to do



Elmo sees himself on Christmas morning,

Creeping down that stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise

When Elmo opens up his eyes

To see a hippo hero standing there



Elmo wants a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses

Elmo only likes hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like Elmo too



Mom says the hippo would eat Elmo up, but then

Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian.



There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage

We'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage



Elmo sees himself on Christmas morning,

Creeping down that stairs

Oh what joy and what surprise

When Elmo opens up his eyes

To see a hippo hero standing there



Elmo want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Only a hippopotamus will do

No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses

Elmo only likes hippopotamuses

And hippopotamuses like Elmo too
