Hipposong
I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus
And nine of its friends who declared
Quite a lot of us
Are feeling rather blue
And we don't know what to do
I turned away but the large hippopotamus
Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless
Yet hippopotami
Are not supposed to cry
I said 'My, my, other people's problems
Do get tedious by and by
My, my you can never solve them
No matter how hard you try.'
This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus
Who said in a voice that was growing monotonous
You cannot get the sense
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Of how it feels to be immense
The sleek and the slim make fun
Of the lot of us
And creatures who fly
Through the air
Sit on top of us
And even in the pool
We are faced with ridicule
I said 'My, my other people's problems
Do get tedious by and by
My, my you can never solve them
No matter how hard you try.'
I came back as a large hippopotamus
