I Don't Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

lyrics

I don't want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I've got too much stuff, I have enough
This consumerism really is ridiculous
Why do we buy so much useless stuff?

I don't want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Why does this time make us look selfish?
Superficial and envious also
Peace and love and happiness should do

I don't feel better if you buy me that
You might think you do and justify
But in March you're still paying off credit cards
And I'll have a bigger garage sale

Could you please not give me anything for Christmas
Useless crap I'll take back anyway
When I say you shouldn't have, you shouldn't have
Let's just enjoy others' company
