Introduction
to The Hippopotamus
The Hippopotamus
- sung by Merlyn
The
Hippopotomas, final verse - sung by JLE
Late at night we sang various other songs, played the
Animal Game (with Unicorns), and wrote some very crude
limericks!
Late nights are bedevilling me
I cant get to bed before three
But try as I might
When I turn out the light
There's absolutely nothing to see
There once was a woman called Chalky
Who always looked rather gawky
I often heard said
She gave fantastic head
To Thos, and Old Uncle Korky!
Thos and Projoy are chums
Both have opposable thumbs
With which they perfect
The things rather erect
And their lovely juicy round bums
