Текст песни: Hipposong + перевод

I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus

And nine of it’s friends who declared

Quite a lot of us Are feelingrather blue

And we don’t know what to do

I turned away but the large hippopotamus

Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless

Yest hippopotami are

Not supposed to cry

I said «My, my, other people’s problems

Do get tedious by and bye

My, my you can never solve them

No matter how hard you try.»

This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus

Who said in a voice that was growing monotonous

You cannot get the sense

Of how it feels to be immense

The sleek and the sliim make fun

Of a lot of us And creatures who fly

Through the air

Sit on top of us ANd even in the pool

We are faced with ridicule

I said «My, my other people’s problems

Do get tedious by and by My, my you can never solve them

No matter how hard you try.»

I came back as a large hippopotamus
