From the album A House For Me (1991)
LYRICS
Did you hear about Otto,
The hippo-o-potto?
Did you hear about Otto,
The potto-o-mus?
Well, Otto the hippo,
He ought to just want
To chew and to chomp
In his small muddy swamp.
He ought to be munching and lunching and crunching.
He ought to be lazing and grazing around.
But Otto the hippo,
He took a short trip
To the lights of the city and found ... and found ...
(A one, two, three, four!)
Otto likes to rock and roll.
Otto likes to dance about.
Otto plays guitar.
He's a superstar.
Otto likes to twist and shout.
Otto plays guitar.
He's a superstar.
Otto likes to twist and shout.
It's the new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He's absolutely fabulous.
The new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He put the hip in hippopotamus.
(Instrumental)
Otto lets his hair go wild
Otto wears a shirt that's bright.
He moved into the park.
He plays until it's dark
Then everybody says, "Good night."
He moved into the park.
He plays until it's dark
Then everybody says, "Good night."
To the new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He's absolutely fabulous.
The new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He put the hip in hippopotamus.
That's the new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He's absolutely fabulous. (That's right!)
The new Otto, the rock-and-roll hippo.
He put the hip ...
He put the hip ...
He put the hip in hip-po-pot-a-mus!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
