What Can Make a Hippopotamus Smile

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make her walk for more than a mile?

It’s not a party with paper hats

Or cake and candy that make her fat

Now that’s not what hippos do! What do they do?

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes

They wade in the water til their lips turn blue

That’s what makes a hippopotamus smile!

What can make a hippopotamus smile?

What can make her walk for more than a mile?

It’s not a tune on the old violin

Or listening to the whistling wind

Now that’s not what hippos do! What do they do?

They ooze in the gooze without any shoes

They wade in the water til their lips turn blue

That’s what makes a hippopotamus …

That’s what makes a hippopotamus …

That’s what makes a hippopotamus smile!
