Lyrics of Hipposong

By : Al Stewart

I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus
And nine of its friends who declared
Quite a lot of us
Are feelingrather blue
And we don't know what to do
I turned away but the large hippopotamus
Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless
Yest hippopotami are
Not supposed to cry
I said "My, my, other people's problems
Do get tedious by and bye
My, my you can never solve them
No matter how hard you try."

This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus
Who said in a voice that was growing monotonous
You cannot get the sense
Of how it feels to be immense
The sleek and the sliim make fun
Of a lot of us
And creatures who fly
Through the air
Sit on top of us
ANd even in the pool
We are faced with ridicule
I said "My, my other people's problems
Do get tedious by and by
My, my you can never solve them
No matter how hard you try."

I came back as a large hippopotamus

I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus 
And nine of its friends who declared 
Quite a lot of us 
Are feelingrather blue 
And we don't know what to do 
I turned away but the large hippopotamus 
Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless 
Yest hippopotami are 
Not supposed to cry 
I said "My, my, other people's problems 
Do get tedious by and bye 
My, my you can never solve them 
No matter how hard you try." 
 
This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus

The sleek and the sliim make fun 
Of a lot of us 
And creatures who fly 
Through the air 
Sit on top of us

I said "My, my other people's problems 
Do get tedious by and by 
My, my you can never solve them 
No matter how hard you try."
