Lyrics
BEAUTIMOUS ‘POTAMUS
(Huh!) She’s Beautimous!
She’s Potamus!
She’s Beautimous Potamus
The most beautiful hippopotamus in all the world! A ha ha!
The days are light and breezy on the old river Zambezi
Hippos come from near and far to see the daughter of HippoPotiphar
Such a hippopoto- top - a mus, such a hippopoto -bottom -us
So beautiful among the hippopotami,
She’s known as the hippopoto-my-oh-my!
She’s beautimous,
She’s Potamus,
She’s Beautimous Potamus
She’s the most beautiful hippopotamus in all the world!
Now scientists will tell ya, she’s an Artiodactyla,
An ungulate, amphibious, on African land contiguous.
Well, I don’t know what all that means, and I don’t care a hill of beans
I suppose at hippo time it means she looks just hippo fine!
She’s beautimous,
She’s Potamus,
She’s Beautimous Potamus
The most beautiful hippopotamus in all the world!
Uh huh! In all the world! Come on, children
When her girlfriends get on the bus, what do you think they discuss?
With un-hippo-critical praise, they adore her hip hop unstoppable ways
She’s Cleopatra of the Sahara, she’s the Queen of the Nile
She's fantastic, not plastic, she’s the height of fashion style!
She’s beautimous,
She’s Potamus,
She’s Beautimous Potamus
The most beautiful hippopotamus in all the world!
Oh, in all the world! Ah, hah, hah
Come on, children, do the hippo dance
Yeah, shake that toe, Oh!
Shake it! Come on, come on!
Side to side, back and forth
Come on, come on, come on, come on
She she she she she she’s oh,
She’s beautimous, Oh, oh
She’s beautimous, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah
Beautimous ‘Potamus, that’s her
Comma comma comma comma
Chocka chocka chocka chocka
Wobba wobba wobba wobba
Lobba lobba lobba lobba
Dat dat momma momma momma dat dat dat dat dat
Beedle ee deet, bo bo pop pop pop pop pop pop
She’s beautimous
In her own way
They line up for miles
Just to see her walk that way, oh
She’s beautimous, chocka, chocka, chocka
She’s ‘potamus, momma, momma, momma
She’s beautimous, woo!
