A hip, a hip, a hippopotamus,
Got on, got on, got on a city bus,
And all, and all, and all the people said,
“You’re squishing us!” (hug baby)

And all, and all, and all the people said,

A sheep, a sheep, a sheep got on the bus,
And all, and all, and all the people said,
“Baaaaaack up!” (lean baby back)
