I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas : Free Printable Christmas Carol Lyrics Sheets
The tradition of Christmas carols dates back as far as the thirteenth century, although carols were originally communal songs sung during
celebrations like harvest tide as well as Christmas. It was only later that carols began to be sung in church, and to be specifically
associated with Christmas.
Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound.
Some carols can be traced directly back to the Middle Ages, and are among the oldest musical compositions still regularly sung.

Christmas Carol Text only - (does not print with sheet above)
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
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 vegeterian
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
