Mr Hippo from Singularities (album) by Radio Ghosts

You sit up there all day it’s simply heart-breaking
Down there at the far end he’s watching and waiting
There’s a glint in his eye
He’ll wait till the light drains from the sky
Seesawing with Mr Hippo is always frustrating

Don’t go down to the river with Mr Hippo
He’ll be quite in his element, you in a pickle
Your breaststroke, your crawl
They won’t do you much good at all
All that’s left of you there will be one little ripple

You’ll find his kind
Far and wide
All over planet earth
With an arse like that
Best give him a wide berth

You can say what you like, he’s simply not listening
He won’t follow, just wallow in mud that he can stick in
Yes, of course it’s unfair,
He goes his own way, doesn’t care
If he’s known for one thing, that is his thick skin

Don’t be taken in by his disinterested yawn
Better watch your step or you’ll get sat on
Your piggy pal with his roly-poly charm
Might just do you serious harm

You’ll find his kind
Far and wide
All over planet earth
With an arse like that
Just give him a wide berth

You’ll find his kind
Far and wide
All over planet earth
With an arse like that
Just give him a wide berth
