Christmas is the time to spread fun around. After celebrating Christmas in a traditional way, it is time to lighten up the air with funny Christmas songs. These songs are great fun when sung in a group and can go a long way in breaking the ice for shy people. Humorous songs on Christmas are sung to spread more fun in the festive spirit. Carols are sung as a part of tradition but what adds spark to Christmas are funny Christmas songs.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
I don't want a doll, or a Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney tube
Just bring him through the front door, that's the best thing to do
I can see myself now on Christmas morning,
Creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo standing there!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Christmas for Cowboys
Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day,
driving the cattle over snow covered-plains
All of the good gifts given today,
ours is the sky and the wide open range.
Back in the cities they have different ways,
football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
I'll take my saddle; I'll take the reins,
It's Christmas for cowboys' wide-open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night,
the stars overhead are Christmas tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray,
It's Christmas for cowboys' wide-open plains.
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
driving the cattle over snow-covered plains
All of the good gifts given today,
ours is the sky and the wide open range
It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains.
