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 [00:00:16]

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

His fair hippopotami maid [00:00:23]

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

And sang her this sweet serenade [00:00:31]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:00:36]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:00:40]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:00:43]

And there let us wallow in glorious mud [00:00:48]

The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice [00:00:57]

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

As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice [00:01:04]

Came tip toeing down to her love [00:01:08]

Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound [00:01:12]

Of the song that they sang as they met [00:01:16]

His inamorata adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet [00:01:19]

For setal [00:01:27]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:01:29]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:01:33]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:01:36]

And there let us wallow in glorious mud [00:01:41]

Now more hippopotami began to convene [00:01:49]

On the banks of that river so wide [00:01:53]

I wonder now what am I to say of the scene [00:01:57]

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

They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh [00:02:04]

Then rose to the surface again [00:02:08]

A regular army of hippopot army [00:02:12]

All singing this haunting refrain [00:02:17]

Not to charles [00:02:20]

Mud mud glorious mud [00:02:22]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood [00:02:26]

So follow me follow down to the hollow [00:02:30]

And there let us wallow in glorious mud [00:02:35]
