HICCUPOPOTOMUS

From the CD Ready to Fly available at RogerDay.com

Deep in the jungle where the river flows
There’s a great big animal that everybody knows
One sad day while he was splashing around
He started making this awful sound

It rumbled up from his belly and it rattled his throat
Like he accidentally swallowed up a sunken tugboat
He tried to be polite and cover up his mouth
But the sound kept coming out

CHORUS
Now they call him
Hiccup...Hiccupopotamus
Hiccup...Hiccupopotamus
Hiccup...Hiccupopotamus
He just can’t make ‘em stop

It was such a funny sound
He woke the sleeping crocodile
He made the anteater and the anaconda smile
The laughing Hyena laughed so hard she couldn’t breathe
Still the sound just would not leave…that’s why they call him

CHORUS

He tried standing on his head and holding his nose
While a big, furry monkey tickled all of his toes
But nothing made it better nothing made it go away
There was nothing you could say…except to call him

CHORUS

He tried blowing up balloons while he was brushing teeth
While he was making funny faces at his second cousin Keith
He tried to whistle underwater like a water buffalo
But the sound just would not go…that’s why they call him

CHORUS x 2
