I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas

Wow! Have you ever tried to spell hippopotamus? Anyway, this song was mentioned over at Waxing Mundane, and I was inspired to post the lyrics on my blog. It is a pretty cool song! Have any of you heard it before now? Regardless of whether you have, take a moment to listen to it!

    I love that I am spreading the joy this song brings. I actually had an appointment with my OB/GYN the other day. I was waiting (fully dressed), this song came on the radio. I couldn’t help it. I ran in the hall and started singing…my doctor apparently loves the song, too because she ran over and started singing and dancing with me. It was a really poignant moment…or not. But still much fun!

    Glad you pointed out that you were fully dressed!! 🙂

    About the song, my husband was really impressed with the lyrics. He said that it rhymed well, and you could tell that there was no odd wording just to make it rhyme! He also said that it puts a lot of shallow songs these days to shame! 🙂

    I LOVE the song and sang it as a kid! The other day I heard someone at the grocery store start belting it out, and I couldn’t help but smile!

    Thanks for reminding those who may have forgotten, that this cool and kid friendly song exists (and for inspiring a blog post for me)!!
