| The Hippo Song What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make her walk for more than a mile? It’s not a tune on the old violin Or listening to the whispering wind That's not what hippos do! THEY--- Ooze through the goo without any shoes They wade in the water 'till their lips turn blue That's what makes a hippopotamus smile! What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make her walk for more than a mile? Its not a party paper or hat Or candies that will make her fat That's not what hippos do! THEY--- Ooze through the goo without any shoes They wade in the water 'till their lips turn blue That's what makes a hippopotamus smile! Extra Verse: What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make her walk for more than a mile? Not swooshing down a slippery slide Or going for a bicycle ride That's not what hippos do! THEY--- (hands on hips, on "THEY", cup hands to shout) Ooze in the goo without any shoes And they wade in the water 'till their lips turn blue That's what makes a hippopotamus smile! |
