Bobby Goosey Poem, "Hippopoto Pantomine (Twang, Lang, Dil-Dough Dee)"

 

Bobby Lee Goosey

Hippopoto Pantomime   

I’m on my way to the hippodrome,

Come along with me,

Twang, lang, dil-dough dee.

 

To see the hippos dancing disco,

What a sight to see,

Twang, lang, dil-dough dee.

 

To watch them twist and stomp and swirl,

Those hippi-hippopotamee,

To watch them bop the hippo boogie

Hippopotamatically,

Twang, lang, dil-dough dee.

 

Twang, lang zippedy-do-dah,

Twang, lang, let’s spend our moolah,

We’ll watch the

Wang-dang,

We’ll watch the

Dang-wang

Hippopoto revelry.

 

Twang, lang, zippedy-do-dah,

Twang, lang, hey Bob-a-ree-bah,

Twang, lang, dil-dough dee.
