Letra de Hippo

Has the rain a father Where does the hippo go? Do you speak from riddles His tail's like a cedar tree The tendons of his thighs like rope His bones like tubes of bronze Ribs like bars of iron And the mountains bring him food And he takes the shield of gold Loves the river like a father Where does the hippopotamus go? Underwater secret garden Bones like tubes of bronze, tubes of bronze The mountains bring him food And the spring rain falls around He waddles in the water And the mudholes in the ground The fat builds up around his neck And he only feeds at night He's running around in the water With tusk like swords of old And he takes the shield of gold Loves the river like a father Where does the hippopotamus go? Underwater secret garden Bones like tubes of bronze The birds sit on his back, pick off the bugs The sun beats down upon his ears, and all that mud And you don't make jokes if you're not as big as him Hippopotamus, hippopotamus, hippopotamus
