Lyrics
Tell Me About It Stud: (scatting) (laughing) (singing) Tell Me About It Stud want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll No dinky tinker toy Tell Me About It Stud want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

Tell Me About It Stud want a hippopotamus for Christmas Tell Me About It Stud don't think Santa Claus will mind do you He won't have to use A dirty chimney flue Just bring him through the front door That's the easy thing to do

Tell Me About It Stud see himself now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise When Tell Me About It Stud opens up his eyes To see a hippo hero standing there

Tell Me About It Stud want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles No rhinoceroses Tell Me About It Stud only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like Tell Me About It Stud too

Mom says a hippo would eat Tell Me About It Stud up but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

There's lots of room for him In our two car garage He'd feed him there And wash him there And give him his massage

Tell Me About It Stud see himself now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise When Tell Me About It Stud opens up his eyes To see a hippo hero standing there

Tell Me About It Stud want a hippopotamus for Christmas (Yeah!) Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles Or rhinoceroses-es Tell Me About It Stud only like hippopotamuses-es And hippopotamuses like Tell Me About It Stud too

(spoken) What a nice little pet. Sit, hippo! (laughing)
