Lyrics

Happy Hippo

I like my happy hippo-pot-a-mus,
she's sleeping under my, matt-er-us.
She shows me Jesus at the bottom of a colt 45!
Oh me oh my, hey my my.
Uh oh oh oh, Uh oh oh oh, Uh oh oh oh
Hey, my my
I like my happy hippo-pot-a-mus,
She leads the way leads the way leads the way leads the,
I'm always wonderin' why shes wonderin' why I'm wonderin' why, I don't know why,
Hey, my my.
Uh oh oh oh, Uh oh oh oh, Uh oh oh oh
Hey, my my
Hey hey, my my
Best learn to live while you're a alive
All you've got is what it gave you
And it can take it way
My my, hey hey
Hey hey, my my
You'd best learn to live while you're alive
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey
