The Hippopotamus Song (Live) (New Master) - Flanders And Swann[00:00:00]
A bold hippopotamus was standing one day[00:00:21]
On the banks of the cool shalimar[00:00:25]
He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay[00:00:29]
By the light of the evening star[00:00:32]
Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair[00:00:36]
His fair hippopotami maid[00:00:40]
The hippopotamus was no ignoramus[00:00:43]
And sang her this sweet serenade[00:00:47]
Mud mud glorious mud[00:00:52]
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood[00:00:57]
So follow me follow down to the hollow[00:01:00]
And there let us wallow in glorious mud[00:01:05]
The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice[00:01:13]
From her seat on that hilltop above[00:01:17]
As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice[00:01:21]
Came tip toeing down to her love[00:01:24]
Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound[00:01:29]
Of the song that they sang as they met[00:01:33]
His inamorata adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet[00:01:36]
For setal[00:01:44]
Mud mud glorious mud[00:01:46]
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood[00:01:49]
So follow me follow down to the hollow[00:01:53]
And there let us wallow in glorious mud[00:01:58]
Now more hippopotami began to convene[00:02:06]
On the banks of that river so wide[00:02:10]
I wonder now what am I to say of the scene[00:02:13]
That ensued by the shalimar side[00:02:17]
They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh[00:02:20]
Then rose to the surface again[00:02:24]
A regular army of hippopot army[00:02:28]
All singing this haunting refrain[00:02:33]
Not to charles[00:02:36]
Mud mud glorious mud[00:02:38]
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood[00:02:42]
So follow me follow down to the hollow[00:02:46]
And there let us wallow in glorious mud[00:02:52]
