This is a story
Of a hippo dressed as a man
In which no one could see
And no one would like to believe

There's an animal inside him
Yawning his jaw is huge
Yet, people cannot see
Wondering in the city

Wearing a hat
And a safari getup
Drinking coffee
In this setup

Goes shopping like others
In which no one could point
And he doesn't even bother
Even with the flip of the coin

(Chorus)

He's a hippo
Hippo in disguise
Hippo-crite
He's a hippo
Hippo none to see in eyes
Hippo-crite

He chews in everything he sees
From cakes to human flesh
For him, it's such a breeze
Another wonderful dish

Gullible humanity
They could not figure out
There's a hippo wondering around
Shaking while jumping on the ground

He's always hungry for more
On the subway, he takes two seats
With his body, he always break doors
Of every shopping stores
Still many give him the greets

He's happy
He's smiling
This is a dream come true
Still no one has ever knew

THAT...

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

Bathing in mud in schools
Laughing children playing with him
No one knows his deal
When he make the kiddies
Into his own MEAL!!!

He's happy
He's smiling
And now, many had started to figure out
What this thing is all about

THAT...

(Chorus)

In the end,
He got tranquilized
And sent back to Africa
As he started singing....

"It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had"
