[Verse] Hippy the hippopotamus The water is too cold It was such a beautiful day For a mud bath I was told A mud bath I was told I was told I was told For a mud bath I was told [Verse 2] Hippy the hippopotamus I heard the news today All of the zoo is excited That we got another babe We got another babe Another babe Another babe That we got another babe [Chorus] In a world of opposites You don't make sense You should be a Hoppy instead But you prefer to lay in bed Layin' in bed Layin' in bed You should be a Hoppy instead [Verse 3] Hippy the hippopotamus I hate to see you cry But if I knew how to help you I'd be glad to give it a try I'd be glad to give it a try Give it a try Give it a try I'd be glad to give it a try
