# I shot the hippopotamous
With bullets made of platinum
Cause if I used ones made of lead
His hide would surely flatten 'em

# Behold the hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us,
And yet in moments dank and grim,
I wonder how we look to him.

Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us,
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.

# They dived all at once with an ear-splitting splash,
Then rose to the surface again,
A regular army of Hippopotami
All singing this haunting refrain.

Mud! Mud! Glorious mud!
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow,
And there let us wallow in glorious mud

# So did Milligan
I'm not afraid of Pussy Cats
They only eat up Mice and Rats
But a Hippopotamus
Could eat the Lotofus!

And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.

In the loft

# I once saw a Hippo eat an entire jeep with family on board...
...on the Serengheti plains.

I screamed for help but it was too late.

You'd never think that George from Rainbow and his ilk could be capable of such slaughter.
