I fell in love with a hippo
what was her name i did not know
the one that left me open-jawed
she played my game so i applaud

I fell in love with a hippo
the one that wouldnt let me go
it looks as though im here to stay
i pray love never goes away

ooo

CHORUS
The next time you fall in love
I hope its with someone lonely
The next time you fall in love
I hope you love the way the hippo showed me

I fell in love with a chimpanzee
she couldnt take her eyes off me
I hope she knows just how i feel
I slipped on her banana peel

I fell in love with a chimpanzee
I climbed up her banana tree
she feels so good right by my side
she feels so good cause she is mine

ooo

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Now who really cares
who looks and who stares
when you're out with your lover
your significant other?

FIRST VERSE

CHORUS
