A hippo is not even mean
Or green
Or clean
A hippo cannot sit between
They aren't
Obscene
Or lean
Or a wolverine
A hippo never intervenes
A hippo will not cause a scene
Or eat a bean
Or wear blue jeans
They can't jump on a trampoline
They can't ride in a submarine
A hippo can't handle caffeine
Or snotty queens
Or gross! Sardines
Don't use sunscreen
Or washing machines
A hippo doesn't eat tangerines
Of all the facts you've heard (nineteen)
The best one is they can't be seen
