Lyrics

Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip hippopotamus who likes to play)

Well, have you heard of sweet Harmony

The hippest little hippo that there ever could be

She’s got a style and it’s all her own

She loves to swim around and play the saxophone

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

From the top down to the bottomest

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

Hip, hip, hip hurray

It wasn’t easy to play while she’d float

Sometimes she’d just blow bubbles instead of a note

But every morning she’d practice her scales

Now everybody listens while Harmony wails

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

From the top down to the bottomest

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

Hip, hip, hip hurray

(Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip hippopotamus who likes to play)

Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip hippopotamus who likes to play

So if you’re looking for a style of your own

Remember sweet Harmony’s saxophone

Life is a river, a magical stream

Where each of us learns to live our own dream

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

From the top down to the bottomest

She’s a hip, hip, hippopotamus

Hip, hip, hip hurray

(Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip, hippopotamus who likes to play)

Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip, hippopotamus who likes to play

Hip, hip, she’s a hip hippopotamus

Hip, hip, from the top to the bottomest

Hip, hip, she’s a hip hippopotamus

Hip, hip, from the top to the bottomest

Hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, hurray

She’s a hip, hippopotamus who likes to play
