Hipopotamus Also Has a Soul

I kept stiff upper lips
The first time that I'd seen you
You had a cool smashing face
Your eyes were so greenish
Don't need to look up words
To tell you weren't beautiful
But now I know
Now I know
You have a white soul
You have a white soul
You have a white soul
You have a white soul
I feel sorry to make you cry
When I couldn't see you
Your body shows no vanity
Your mind no futility
I have a lot of reasons
To make you my woman
Cause now I know
Now I know
Hipopotamus also has a soul
Hipopotamus also has a soul
Hipopotamus also has a soul
But isn't easy it shows.
