The Hippopotamus Song - Flanders & Swann/Val Rosing[00:00:00]

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 it peacefully lay[00:00:12]

By the light of the evening star [00:00:15]

Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair[00:00:19]

Was a fair Hippopotami maid;[00:00:23]

The Hippopotamus was no ignoramus[00:00:26]

And sang her this sweet serenade:[00:00:30]

'Mud Mud glorious mud[00:00:35]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:00:39]

So follow me follow[00:00:43]

Down to the hollow[00:00:46]

And there let us wallow[00:00:48]

In glorious mud'[00:00:50]

The fair Hippopotama he aimed to entice[00:00:56]

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

As she hadn't got a Ma to give her advice[00:01:03]

Came tiptoeing down to her love [00:01:07]

Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound[00:01:12]

Of the song that they sang when they met[00:01:15]

His inamorata adjusted her garter[00:01:19]

And lifted her voice in duet in Russian[00:01:23]

Mud Mud glorious mud[00:01:28]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:01:32]

So follow me follow[00:01:35]

Down to the hollow[00:01:38]

And there let us wallow[00:01:40]

In glorious mud '[00:01:43]

The bold Hippopotami began to convene[00:01:48]

On the banks of that river so wide[00:01:52]

I wonder now what am I to say of the scene[00:01:55]

That ensued by the Swhalimar side [00:01:59]

They dived all at once with an ear-splitting splosh[00:02:03]

Then rose to the surface again[00:02:07]

A regular army[00:02:10]

Of Hippopotami[00:02:13]

All singing this haunting refrain:[00:02:15]

'Mud Mud glorious mud[00:02:20]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood[00:02:25]

So follow me follow[00:02:28]

Down to the hollow[00:02:31]

And there let us wallow[00:02:34]

In glorious mud'[00:02:36]
