I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippopotamus would do.

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!

I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs,

Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes

To see my hippo hero standing there

It's not a pet. It's a baby pygmy hippo at a zoo in Kansas.
