[00:00.618]The Hippopotamus Song (Introduced by Michael Flanders) [1991 Remaster] (1991 Remaster) - Michael Flanders/Donald Swann
[00:07.745]Lyrics by：Michael Flanders
[00:08.881]Composed by：Donald Swann
[00:09.641]Produced by：George Martin
[01:22.122]A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
[01:25.594]On the banks of the cool Shalimar
[01:28.706]He gazed at the bottom
[01:29.892]As it peacefully lay
[01:32.012]By the light of the evening star
[01:35.004]Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair
[01:38.526]His fair hippopotami maid
[01:41.793]The hippopotamus was no ignoramus
[01:45.234]And sang her this sweet serenade
[01:49.835]Mud mud glorious mud
[01:53.427]Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
[01:56.572]So follow me follow
[01:58.839]Down to the hollow
[02:01.199]And there let us wallow in glorious mud
[02:08.255]The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice
[02:11.763]From her seat on that hilltop above
[02:14.987]As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice
[02:18.594]Came tip-toeing down to her love
[02:23.047]Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound
[02:26.590]Of the song that they sang as they met
[02:29.774]His inamorata adjusted her garter
[02:33.470]And lifted her voice in duet
[02:36.016]In rason
[02:37.388]Good hands
[02:37.985]Good hands
[02:39.234]Truth make a grends
[02:40.981]All you just serest sakkakor nehabaij
[02:44.406]Thakpas pis por you tham
[02:46.066]Follow me follow
[02:46.939]Nipabi jiayo piyabo
[02:49.084]Down to the hollow
[02:50.003]Nio tonk biyak koyem
[02:51.363]Sob tro koyogram
[02:53.634]Back to inmprove our culture relation
[02:56.157]Now more hippopotami began to convene
[02:59.864]On the banks of that river so wide
[03:03.464]I wonder now what-am-I to say of the scene
[03:06.928]That ensued by the Shalimar side
[03:10.016]They dived all at once
[03:11.744]With an ear-splitting splosh
[03:13.896]Then rose to the surface again
[03:17.296]A regular army of hippopotarmy
[03:21.022]All singing this haunting refrain
[03:23.949]Falsetto
[03:25.717]Mud mud glorious mud
[03:30.013]Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
[03:34.037]So follow me follow
[03:37.221]Down to the hollow
[03:40.631]And there let us wallow in glorious mud
