Lyrics for Song: Hippo Stomp 
Lyrics for Album: Gold [2005]
  
               
  37221>If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know me
  But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan"
  Somebody would follow just because it's free
 
 
  We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
  Sometimes we can't touch the ground
  Like Hippos slidin' in the water
  Somehow we're stompin' around
 
 
  If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know you
  But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"
  Somebody will follow just because it's free
 
 
  We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
  Sometimes we can't touch the ground
  Like Hippos slindin' in the water
  Somehow we're stompin' around
 
 
  Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
  Any time I feel disgusted
  You'll see me do the hippo stomp
 
 
  You stop and watch me while you're out on your midnite romp
  And I can feel the silent question
  What the heck is the hippo stomp?
 
 
  Hey! Hey! You should try it when you're feelin' blue
  Let me answer you and let me tell ya true
  Just how I feel when I'm down
  Sometimes I wonder
  You'll see me stumblin' around
  But you just point and stare
  Come on let me hear ya
  Somewhere there's a voice down inside
  And when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question "why"
  Just because we live together
  We don't have to like each other
  So please don't fall asleep on me again
  Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure
  You just might never wake up from the dream
  Hey! Speak up let me hear ya
  Let me show you 'round the reservation
  I know my way around these parts
  I've lived here long enough
  Now you can have a taste, an indication
  Of things and times to come
  Early in the morning, late at night
  Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right
  'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody's looking out my door
  He's been snoopin' like a hound
  I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
 
 
  We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
  Sometimes we can't touch the ground
  Like Hippos slindin' in the water
  Somehow we're stompin' around
 
 
  Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
  Any time I feel disgusted
  You'll see me do the hippo stomp
