Al Stewart - Hipposong       I was surrounded by a large hippopotamus   And nine of its friends who declared   Quite a lot of us   Are feelingrather blue   And we don't know what to do   I turned away but the large hippopotamus   Said that his pit of despair appeared bottomless   Yest hippopotami are   Not supposed to cry   I said "My, my, other people's problems   Do get tedious by and bye   My, my you can never solve them   No matter how hard you try."      This brought a tear from the large hippopotamus   Who said in a voice that was growing monotonous   You cannot get the sense   Of how it feels to be immense   The sleek and the sliim make fun   Of a lot of us   And creatures who fly   Through the air   Sit on top of us   ANd even in the pool    We are faced with ridicule   I said "My, my other people's problems   Do get tedious by and by   My, my you can never solve them   No matter how hard you try."      I came back as a large hippopotamus
