IF YOU LOVE A HIPPOPOTAMUS (1982)
performed by Heather Bishop
If you love a hippopotamus
And you love her alotamus
She will be your friend
That can be mighty handy now and then
'Cause if you're stuck outside
And the door on the house won't budge
Your friend the hippo will lean on it
And give it that extra nudge
If you love a hippopotamus
And you love her alotamus
She will be your friend
That can be mighty handy now and then
And if you want a cookie (I 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!)
If you love a hippopotamus
And you love her alotamus
She will be your friend
That can be mighty handy now and then
If you're put to bed
And you find that you just can't sleep
Your friend the hippopotamus
Into your room will creep
She'll sing you a lullaby
'Til you begin to snore
Then she'll tiptoe out
Hippopotamusly and shut the door
If you love a hippopotamus
And you love her alotamus
She will be your friend
That can be mighty handy now and then
