Hippo Hop • Friday night a hop was hosted by the kangaroo. • Jumpin’ frogs and rabbits came and leapin’ lemurs too. • Bouncy critters came from every corner of the zoo. • Everything was great until a knock came at the door • When it opened, in walked twenty hippos, maybe more. • They had come to join the fun. They headed for the floor.
And the floors started creakin’ • The roof started leakin’ • The walls started shakin’ • The whole house was quakin’ • And the dance came to a stop………. • When the hippos did the hop!
When the hippos did the hop it made a thund’rous sound. • Fifty tons of mammal could be heard for miles around. • They did so much hoppin; that the walls came crashin’ down. • When the dust had settled, kangaroo was in distress. • She surveyed the wreckage caused by uninvited guests. • But the guilty hippos stayed all night to clean the mess.
And the floors started creakin’ • The roof started leakin’ • The walls started shakin’ • The whole house was quakin’ • And the dance came to a stop………. • When the hippos did the hop! • And the dance came to a stop………. • When the hippos did the hop!
