The Hippopotamus Song - Ian Wallace/Celeste Holm[00:00:00]

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

On the banks of the cool Shalimar[00:00:09]

He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay[00:00:13]

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

Away on a 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[00:00:41]

Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood[00:00:45]

So follow me follow down to the hollow[00:00:49]

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

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

From her seat on that hilltop above[00:01:08]

As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice[00:01:12]

Came tip toeing down to her love[00:01:16]

Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound[00:01:21]

Of the song that they sang as they met[00:01:26]

His inamorata and adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet[00:01:30]

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 us 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 splosh[00:02:19]

Then rose to the surface again[00:02:25]

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

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

Not to Charles[00:02:40]

Glorious mud[00:02:42]

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

So follow me follow down to the hollow[00:02:48]

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