about

Written for a wedding, and performed for a pending adoption, this is the versatile lullaby love song that gets stuck in our craw and between our toes with all its gooey sweetness and misspellings.

lyrics

If I was a hippopotamus,
If I was a kangaroo,
If I was a black rhinoceros-us
I'd still be loving you.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

I would splish-splash in the water,
I would hip-hop 'round the room,
I don't know what black rhinoceroses do
If they can't have you.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...

Won't you stop your zebra striping
And babble like a big baboon?
I'll octo-put my arms around you--
We'll have such a hullabaloo-baloooooo.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...
