Hip Hip Hooray (Hippopotamus)
Mary Rice Hopkins
Actions in blue.
In the beginning, God made the sea
{spread your hands out to make a wavy sea in front of you}
And the forest filled with trees
{bring your arms up and out at the shoulders, hands pointed down, to make a tree}
He made the mountains up so high
{Bring your arms above your head and make a mountain pointed over you head}
And on the top he placed the sky
{Leave one hand pointed up and use the other to make a motion over the mountain for 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.
{Drop voice to a low deep voice}
{Make your hands out like a fat hippo and hunch down}
Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus
{Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice still}
Hip-hip-hooray God made us
{Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}
Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus
{Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice}
Hip-hip-hooray God made us
{Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}
