| If I should go astray and say «I lost my way» nobody would know me
|
| But if I don’t believe I can and still say «Hear my plan»
|
| Somebody would follow just because it’s free
|
| We’re all Hippos rollin' down the river
|
| Sometimes we can’t touch the ground
|
| Like Hippos slidin' in the water
|
| Somehow we’re stompin' around
|
| If you should go astray and say «I lost my way» nobody will know you
|
| But if you don’t believe you can and still say «I'm your man»
|
| Somebody will follow just because it’s free
|
| We’re all Hippos rollin' down the river
|
| Sometimes we can’t touch the ground
|
| Like Hippos slindin' in the water
|
| Somehow we’re stompin' around
|
| Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
|
| Any time I feel disgusted
|
| You’ll see me do the hippo stomp
|
| You stop and watch me while you’re out on your midnite romp
|
| And I can feel the silent question
|
| What the heck is the Hippo Stomp?
|
| Hey! |
| Hey! |
| You should try it when you’re feelin' blue
|
| Let me answer you and let me tell ya true
|
| Just how I feel when I’m down
|
| Sometimes I wonder
|
| You’ll see me stumblin' around
|
| But you just point and stare
|
| Come on let me hear ya
|
| Somewhere there’s a voice down inside
|
| And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question «why»
|
| Just because we live together
|
| We don’t have to like each other
|
| So please don’t fall asleep on me again
|
| Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure
|
| You just might never wake up from the dream
|
| Hey! |
| Speak up let me hear ya
|
| Let me show you 'round the reservation
|
| I know my way around these parts
|
| I’ve lived here long enough
|
| Now you can have a taste, an indication
|
| Of things and times to come
|
| Early in the morning, late at night
|
| Somebody seems to know just how this thing work’s right
|
| 'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody’s looking out my door
|
| He’s been snoopin' like a hound
|
| I’ll grab his neck and shake him on down
|
| Repeat Chorus
|
| Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
|
| Any time I feel disgusted
|
| You’ll see me do the Hippo Stomp |
