Way beyond the jungle
In a deep muddy swamp
There lives a hippo known
For her dance, the Hippo Stomp

Her name is frieda, they all want to meet her
From miles around they come
and they gather one by one

Frieda, FRIEDA!
Oh how we love you
Word has spread around the world
And they all Iove you too.

Frieda FRIEDA!
Show us your dance!
The first thing you do is take the Hippo Stance

You gotta hoof it to the left
You gotta hoof it to the right
Shake your hips
Your hippy hippo hips
(clap clap) in the moonlight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Do do do do do

Frieda FRIEDA!
The Rockettes are on line one
My feet in heels? Wouldn't that be fun?

Frieda FRIEDA!
Show us your dance!
The first thing you do is take the Hippo Stance

You gotta hoof it to the left
You gotta hoof it to the right
Shake your hips
Your hippy hippo hips
(clap clap) in the moonlight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Do do do do do

Frieda FRIEDA!
Will you come to Hollywood
With all these red carpets
I don't think I should

Frieda FRIEDA!
Show us your dance!
The first thing you do is take the Hippo Stance

You gotta hoof it to the left
You gotta hoof it to the right
Shake your hips
Your hippy hippo hips
(clap clap) in the moonlight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Do do do do do


The offers kept coming
Frieda's fame grew and grew
The all wondered what she would do
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa
But Frieda kept dancing
In that deep muddy swamp
Still today she teaches
The hippo stomp

Frieda FRIEDA!
Show us your dance!
The first thing you do is take the Hippo Stance

You gotta hoof it to the left
You gotta hoof it to the right
Shake your hips
Your hippy hippo hips
(clap clap) in the moonlight
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
Do do do do do
