《The Hippopotamus Song》歌词

时长： 03:05

A bold hippopotamus was standing one day [00:00:04]

On the banks of the cool Shalimar [00:00:08]

He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay [00:00:12]

By the light of the evening star [00:00:16]

Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair [00:00:21]

His fair hippopotami maid [00:00:25]

The hippopotamus was no ignoramus [00:00:29]

So sang her this sweet serenade [00:00:34]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:00:40]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:00:44]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:00:48]

And there let me wallow in glorious mud [00:00:53]

The fair hippopotamus he aimed to entice [00:01:03]

From her seat on that hilltop above [00:01:07]

As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice [00:01:11]

Came tiptoeing down to her love [00:01:15]

Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound [00:01:21]

Of the song that they sang when they met [00:01:25]

His inamorata adjusted her garter [00:01:30]

And lifted her voice in duet [00:01:35]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:01:40]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:01:44]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:01:48]

And there let me wallow in glorious mud [00:01:54]

Now more hippopotami began to convene [00:02:03]

On the banks of that river so wide [00:02:07]

I wonder now what am I to say of the scene [00:02:11]

That ensued by the Shalimar side [00:02:15]

They dived all at once with an ear splitting sposh [00:02:19]

Then rose to the surface again [00:02:24]

A regular army of hippopotami [00:02:29]

All singing this haunting refrain [00:02:34]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:02:40]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:02:44]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:02:47]

And there let me wallow in glorious mud [00:02:53]
