IF YOU LOVE A HIPPOPOTAMUS (2003)

If you love a hippopotamus

And you love her alotamus

She will be your friend (your friend)

That can be mighty handy now and then

'Cause if you're stuck outside (outside)

And the door on the house won't budge (won't budge)

Your friend the hippo will lean on it

And give it that extra nudge (ungh!) 

If you love a hippopotamus

And you love her alotamus

She will be your friend (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 (too high)

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 (your friend)

That can be mighty handy now and then

"Cause if you're put to bed (bedtime!)

And you find that you just can't sleep (can't sleep)

Your friend the hippopotamus

Into your room will creep

And she'll sing you a lullaby (lullaby)

'Til you begin to snore

Then she'll tiptoe out

Hippopotamusly and slam the door (WHAM!)

If you love a hippopotamus

And you love her alotamus

She will be your friend (your friend)

That can be mighty handy now and then

Yup!
