A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
On the banks of the cool Shalimar
He gazed at the bottom
As it peacefully lay
By the light of the evening star
Away on a 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 us 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 tip-toeing 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
In rason
Good hands
Good hands
Truth make a grends
All you just serest sakkakor nehabaij
Thakpas pis por you tham
Follow me follow
Nipabi jiayo piyabo
Down to the hollow
Nio tonk biyak koyem
Sob tro koyogram
Back to inmprove our culture relation
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 splosh
Then rose to the surface again
A regular army of hippopotarmy
All singing this haunting refrain
Falsetto
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
