The Hippopotamus Song (Remastered)

A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
 On the banks of the cool Shalimar
 He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay
 By the light of the evening star
 Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair
 His fair hippopotami maid
 The hippopotamus was no ignoramus
 And sang her this sweet serenade
 Mud, mud, glorious mud
 Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
 So follow me follow, down to the hollow
 And there let me wallow in glorious mud
 The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice
 From her seat on that hilltop above
 As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice
 Came tiptoeing down to her love
 Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound
 Of the song that they sang as they met
 His inamorata adjusted her garter
 And lifted her voice in duet
 Kranz, kranz schmoodliger kranz,
 Holudshia shretsaca coldliger kranz
 Heckvas lees fer you dawgo
 Follow me follow
 Begeelio bedabo
 Down to the hollow
 Wenyou taub me aput in some true gulio kranz
 That will prove our cultural relations.
 Now more hippopotami began to convene
 On the banks of that river so wide
 I wonder now what am I to say of the scene
 That ensued by the Shalimar side
 They dived all at once with an ear-splitting sposh
 Then rose to the surface again
 A regular army of hippopotami
 All singing this haunting refrain
 Mud, mud, glorious mud
 Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
 So follow me follow, down to the hollow
 And there let us wallow in glorious mud
