[Intro]
Thick morning fog as the daylight breaks

Stretching your jaws by the cool muddy lake

Blink slow and hungry, still rubbing your eyes

But you hear the stampede, better not fall behind

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning to stomping and snorts

Big river’s calling and you can't be caught short

The water’s inviting, but slow feet get burned

The herd is your family, it’s your turn to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
You linger a moment but hear mama’s sound

She nudges you onward, you pick up the ground

There’s danger in waiting and friend in the crowd

You hustle your fastest, you’re standing out proud

[Chorus]
Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

Run for the river before you're the last in line

Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

Don't you know danger is right behind

[Post-Chorus]
Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
Mud on your back and the sun on your side

The others are drifting, you gotta keep stride

Chomping your breakfast but you can't stay too slow

The reeds start to rustle, it's time you must go

[Pre-Chorus]
The herd's crossing over and they're hard to see

But back in the shadows you don't want to be

There's eyes in the water that linger and prowl

Catch up to your family, you gotta move now

[Chorus]
Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

Run for the river before you're the last in line

Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

Don't you know danger is right behind

[Post-Chorus]
Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la la

[Bridge]
Roots in the water, mud flying high

The herd is a thunder that rumbles right by

A glint in your eye and a beat in your chest

Tonight's not the night you give up on the rest

[Chorus]
Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

One more push and you won't be left behind

Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

Safe with your kin and peace of mind

[Post-Chorus]
Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la

[Outro]
Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

You made it across and you left fear behind

Go hippopotamus Go hippopotamus la la la la la la (Go hippopotamus)

The sun’s going down and you’re doing just fine

[Post-Chorus]
Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la la la la

Go hippopotamus la la la
