《The Hippopotamus Song》歌词

[00:00:04] A bold hippopotamus was standing one day

[00:00:08] On the banks of the cool Shalimar

[00:00:12] He gazed at the bottom as it peacefully lay

[00:00:16] By the light of the evening star

[00:00:19] Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair

[00:00:23] His fair hippopotami maid

[00:00:26] The hippopotamus was no ignoramus

[00:00:31] And sang her this sweet serenade

[00:00:36] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:00:40] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:00:43] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:00:48] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:00:57] The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice

[00:01:01] From her seat on that hilltop above

[00:01:04] As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice

[00:01:08] Came tip toeing down to her love

[00:01:12] Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound

[00:01:16] Of the song that they sang as they met

[00:01:19] His inamorata adjusted her garter and lifted her voice in duet

[00:01:27] For setal

[00:01:29] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:01:33] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:01:36] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:01:41] And there let us wallow in glorious mud

[00:01:49] Now more hippopotami began to convene

[00:01:53] On the banks of that river so wide

[00:01:57] I wonder now what am I to say of the scene

[00:02:00] That ensued by the Shalimar side

[00:02:04] They dived all at once with an ear splitting splosh

[00:02:08] Then rose to the surface again

[00:02:12] A regular army of hippopot army

[00:02:17] All singing this haunting refrain

[00:02:20] Not to charles

[00:02:22] Mud mud glorious mud

[00:02:26] Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood

[00:02:30] So follow me follow down to the hollow

[00:02:35] And there let us wallow in glorious mud
