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.
