[Verse 1]
G Em Am7 D
A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
Em A7 D D7
On the banks of the cool Shalimar
G Em Am7 D
He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay
Em A7 D D7
By the light of the evening star
Am E Am E
Away on a hilltop sat combing her hair
Am E7 Am
A fair hippopotama maid
A7 D A7 D
The hippopotamus was no ignoramus
Am A7 D D7
And sang her this sweet serenade
[Chorus]
G Em Am7 D
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Em A7 D D7
There's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
G G7 C A7
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
Am G D7 G Em Am7 D
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
[Verse 2]
G Em Am7 D
The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice
Em A7 D D7
From that seat on the hilltop above.
G Em Am7 D
As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice
Em A7 D D7
Came tiptoeing down to her love.
Am E Am E
Like thunder the forest reechoed the sound
Am E7 Am
Of the song that they sang as they met.
A7 D A7 D
His inamorata adjusted her garter
Am A7 D D7
And lifted her voice in duet.
[Chorus]
G Em Am7 D
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Em A7 D D7
There's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
G G7 C A7
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
Am G D7 G Em Am7 D
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
[Verse 3]
G Em Am7 D
Then more hippopotami began to convene
Em A7 D D7
On the banks of that river so wide.
G Em Am7 D
I wonder now what am I to say of the scene
Em A7 D D7
That ensued by the Shalimar side.
Am E Am E
They dived all at once with an ear-splitting Splosh
Am E7 Am
Then rose to the surface again.
A7 D A7 D
A regular army of hippopotami
Am A7 D D7
All singing this haunting refrain.
[Chorus]
G Em Am7 D
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Em A7 D D7
There's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
G G7 C A7
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
Am G D7 G
And there let us wallow in glorious mud
