She was 10 years old when she sang this song in 1953.
This hit was recorded as a fund-raiser to bring the city zoo a hippo.
Lyrics:
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
Merry Christmas!

Wow...Acc Girls is always so creative!! But I think the song is promoting hippopotamus dolls. Well...no matter what its purpose is, it makes lots of fun.
It's really catching! When ACC Girls told me that they picked a lovely song, I looked forward to listen to it very much. Now I find it enjoyable to listen to the song. This song delighted me a lot,especially for the chubby hippo. It's fun!
By the way, I'm Finn. It's nice to listen to it!
What a lovely song! Thank you for sharing!
It's so cute that makes me smile.
I would like to share with you another christmas song that Gayla Peever sang.
