"I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas"

"I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas"



I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll
No dinky tinker toys
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind do you
He won't have to use
A dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door
That's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what a joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
No rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says a hippo would eat me up but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian

(Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way)

There's lots of room for him
In our two car garage
I'd feed him there
And wash him there
And give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
When I open up my eyes
And see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles
Or rhinoceroses-es
I only like hippopotamuses-es
And hippopotamuses like me too

"I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart"

"I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart"


I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride through the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes singing
As the sun sets in the west
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best

[yodeling]

I wanna ride Old Paint
Moving at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles away from all
Movin' at a cowhand's pace
I want to pillow my head
Beneath the open sky
As the sun sets in the west
I wanna strum my guitar and yodel-le-hee-hee
That's the life I love the best

[yodeling]

[Musical Interlude]

YEE-HAW!!!

"I Want To With You"

"I Want To With You"


Love is a lot like a garden
You throw your whole heart into
Once I was easily started
The hard thing to do
Was following through

[Chorus]
But I want to with you
Make a love that will last forever
I want to with you
make a life we can live together
Baby I promise you
Every time I laugh
Every tear I cry
Every long night I live through
I want to with you

Life is a lot like a battle
When love is under attack
Once I was easily rattled
I'd run just like that
I wouldn't fight back

[repeat chorus]

Once upon a lonely time
I didn't want to share my life
But now I find in everything that I do
I want to with you

Baby I promise you
Every time I laugh
Every tear I cry
Every long night I live through
I want to, I want to, oh with you
Oh I want to with you baby oh yeah
I want to with you
I want to with you
I want to with you

"I Want You With Me"

"I Want You With Me"



When I'm walking down the street
on a quiet afternoon
Or when I hear our favorite song
and it gets me in the mood
When I don't know who I am
and the world is not my friend
When I fight my way back up again

Oh, I want you with me every move I make
I want you to see all that I see
Through the laughter and the madness
And every moment in between
Oh, I
I want you with me

When I tell my daddy bye
for the very last time
Or when I learn a whole new love
in our babies first cry
When you can tell I've done it all
by the lines on my face
When I start regretting my mistakes

Oh, I want you with me every move I make
I want you to see all that I see
Through the laughter and the madness
And every moment in between
Oh, I
I want you with me

"I Will Always Love You"

"I Will Always Love You"


If I should stay
I would only get in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

[with music]

And I will always love you
I will always love you
My darling, Mmmmmmmm
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye
Please don't cry
For we both know
I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you

[musical interlude]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you dreamed of
And I wish you joy and hapiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

"I'll Get Even With You"

"I'll Get Even With You"



For all the nights you held me close
Warmed my heart when it was cold
When I was giving up
You gave me love

From some dark alley in my mind
You made a hidden dream unwind
Turned my stumbling blocks
To stepping stones

I'll get even with you
For the hard times you helped me through
I'm giving back to you
All the love you've given me
For the rest of my life
Everyday and everynight
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you

When the odds were against me
And I was lost with no will to go on
You wrapped your loving arms around my heart
Took my losin' hand and led me home

I'll get even with you
For the hard times you helped me through
I'm giving back to you
All the love you've given me
For the rest of my life
Everyday and everynight
If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you

If it's the last thing I ever do
I'll get even with you.

"Insensitive"

"Insensitive"


[Originally wrote and performed by Jann Arden]

How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere

[Chorus]
Oh I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's time
To fall in love again

Oh you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

[Chorus]

"Joy: God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman / Angels We Have Heard On High / Hark The Herald Angels Sing"

"Joy: God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman / Angels We Have Heard On High / Hark The Herald Angels Sing"



God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Savior

Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy



Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Singing Gloria, singing Gloria, singing Gloria
Singing Gloria, singing Gloria, singing Gloria
Gloria, in excelsis Deo Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

With the angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

"Just A Girl Like You"

"Just A Girl Like You"



Every night I say my prayers
Like throwing confetti in the air
I don't need perfect, but I'll take fair
I've learned to drive while I cry
Figured out the answer’s always why
I've been brave and I've been scared

I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Do what I can to survive
Back and forth from a woman to a child
I'm coming up for air
We're not all that far apart
Both fragile works of art
See the colors that we share

But, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Oh I've always believed in him and me
I get you, I wish that you'd get me

Yeah well, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Oh, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you

But I wrapped it for ya 'specially
So forget the little angel on the tree
