I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas

[Verse 1]
我要河馬作聖誕禮物
[Chorus]
只要河馬
[Verse 2]
我不要小氣的布偶娃娃
[Verse 3]
我要能陪我玩耍的河馬
[Chorus]
我要河馬作聖誕禮物
[Verse 2]
我猜聖誕老人也不會介意送這個禮物
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
這樣他不用灰頭土臉地鑽煙囪
Only a hippopotamus will do
可以直接帶著河馬走正門
I don't want a doll, no dinky tinker toy
多麼容易的事兒
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
想像著聖誕的清晨
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
我悄悄下樓
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
哇，多大的驚喜
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
我睜開眼
Just bring him through the front door
看見了我的河馬英雄
That's the easy thing to do
我要河馬作聖誕禮物
I can see me now on Christmas morning
只要河馬
Creeping down the stairs
不要鱷魚或犀牛
Oh, what a joy and what surprise
我只喜歡河馬
When I open up my eyes
河馬也喜歡我呢
To see my hippo hero standing there
媽媽說河馬會吃了我
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
但老師說河馬只吃素
Only a hippopotamus will do
兩個車庫足夠他待
No crocodiles or rhinoceroses
我會在那給他餵食
I only like hippopotamuses
洗澡和按摩
And hippopotamuses like me, too
想像著聖誕的清晨
Mom says the hippo would eat me up
我悄悄下樓
But then, my teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
哇，多大的驚喜
There's lots of room for him in our two car garage
我睜開眼
I'd feed him there and wash him there
看見了我的河馬英雄
And give him his massage
我要河馬作聖誕禮物
I can see me now on Christmas morning
只要河馬
Creeping down the stairs
不要鱷魚或犀牛
Oh, what a joy and what surprise
我只喜歡河馬
When I open up my eyes
河馬也喜歡我呢
To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
