Lyrics
I want a hip po pot a mus for Christ mas, a hip po pot a mus is all I want.
Don’t want a doll, no dink y tink er toy, I want a hip po pot a mus to play with and en joy.
I want a hip po pot a mus for Christ mas,
only a hip po pot a mus will do.
No croc o diles or rhi noc er oses.
I on ly like hip po pot a muses and hip po pot a mus es like me too.
