    Oh a Hippo by far.

    Why?

    The Hippopotamus Song

    A bold hippopotamus was standing one day

    On the banks of the cool Shalimar

    He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay

    By the light of the evening star

    Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair

    His fair hippopotami maid

    The hippopotamus was no ignoramus

    And sang her this sweet serenade

    Chorus:

    Mud, mud, glorious mud

    Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

    So follow me follow, down to the hollow

    And there let me wallow in glorious mud

    The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice

    From her seat on that hilltop above

    As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice

    Came tiptoeing down to her love

    Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound

    Of the song that they sang when they met

    His inamorata adjusted her garter

    And lifted her voice in duet

    Now more hippopotami began to convene

    On the banks of that river so wide

    I wonder now what am I to say of the scene

    That ensued by the Shalimar side

    They dived all at once with an ear-splitting sposh

    Then rose to the surface again

    A regular army of hippopotami

    All singing this haunting refrain

    Chorus

    (Extra verse:)

    The amorous hippopotamus whose love song we know

    Is now married and father of ten,

    He murmurs, "God rot 'em!" as he watches them grow,

    And he longs to be single again!

    He'll gambol no more on the banks of the Nile,

    Which Naser is flooding next spring,

    With hippopotamas in silken pyjamas

    No more will he teach them to sing...

    Chorus
