In the beginning God made the sea
And the forest filled with trees
He made the mountains up so high
On the very top He placed the sky
God's fingerprints are everywhere
Just to show how much He cares
But in between He had loads of fun
He made a hippo who weighs a ton
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, God made all of us
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, He made us
Creation sings of His praise
The sparrow and the tiny babe
We can sing and say well done
But some things He just made for fun
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, God made all of us
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, He made us
In the beginning God made the sea
And the forest filled with trees
He made the mountains up so high
On the very top He placed the sky
God's fingerprints are everywhere
Just to show how much He cares
But in between He had loads of fun
He made a hippo who weighs a ton
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, God made all of us
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, He made us
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, God made all of us
Hip hip hip hippopotamus
Hip hip hooray, He made us
