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.
