Hippopotamus Sparks

[Verse 1]
There's a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus
A hippopotamus in my pool
There's a hippopotamus, a hippopotamus
A hippopotamus in my pool

[Refrain 1]
How did it get there? How did it get there?
How did it get there? I don't know
How did it get there? How did it get there?
How did it get there? I don't know

[Verse 2]
There's a book by Anonymous, a book by Anonymous
A book by Anonymous in my pool
There's a book by Anonymous, a book by Anonymous
And a hippopotamus in my pool

[Refrain 2]
No, I've not read it, no, I've not read it
When it dries out I'll have a go
How did it get there? How did it get there?
How did it get there? I don't know

[Bridge 1]
Someone must have been fooling around
Someone must have been acting the clown
Someone must have been taking the piss
Taking the piss in acting like this
