 * Red Velvet as Elmo

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

Red Velvet want a hippopotamus for Christmas Red Velvet 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

Red Velvet see himself now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise When Red Velvet opens up his eyes To see a hippo hero standing there

Red Velvet want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles No rhinoceroses Red Velvet only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like Red Velvet too

Mom says a hippo would eat Red Velvet 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

Red Velvet see himself now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise When Red Velvet opens up his eyes To see a hippo hero standing there

Red Velvet want a hippopotamus for Christmas (Yeah!) Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles Or rhinoceroses-es Red Velvet only like hippopotamuses-es And hippopotamuses like Red Velvet too

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