I got "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" to play at the Christmas Tea because I heard it on the radio & fell in love with it! The intro. is a little tricky, but the rest falls all into place. FUN, FUN, FUN song!

My husband loves hippos and this is like a theme song to him. We sing this every Christmas, and all of our friends join in. This arrangement easiest to learn, easy to perform, and loads of fun for all. A good choice to add to your holiday repertoire.

Was a good arrangement for a quick learn Christmas song. Not very challenging but not a bad arrangement.

What kids chorus wouldnt love singing along to this arrangement of I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Arrangement is just technical enough to give a pianist a good chord workout yet easy enough to sightread and drop notes if needed.
