Cast

 * Oscar the Grouch as Elmo

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

Oscar want a hippopotamus for Christmas Oscar 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

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

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

Mom says a hippo would eat Oscar 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

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

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

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