Steppenwolf - Hippo Stomp Lyrics
If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody would know meBut if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan"Somebody would follow just because it's freeWe're all Hippos rollin' down the riverSometimes we can't touch the groundLike Hippos slidin' in the waterSomehow we're stompin' aroundIf you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody will know youBut if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"Somebody will follow just because it's freeWe're all Hippos rollin' down the riverSometimes we can't touch the groundLike Hippos slindin' in the waterSomehow we're stompin' aroundNow you can see me lyin' down in my swampAny time I feel disgustedYou'll see me do the hippo stompYou stop and watch me while you're out on your midnite rompAnd I can feel the silent questionWhat the heck is the Hippo Stomp?Hey! Hey! You should try it when you're feelin' blueLet me answer you and let me tell ya trueJust how I feel when I'm downSometimes I wonderYou'll see me stumblin' aroundBut you just point and stareCome on let me hear yaSomewhere there's a voice down insideAnd when you find it let it teach you how to ask the question "why"Just because we live togetherWe don't have to like each otherSo please don't fall asleep on me againNobody, nobody, nobody knows for sureYou just might never wake up from the dreamHey! Speak up let me hear yaLet me show you 'round the reservationI know my way around these partsI've lived here long enoughNow you can have a taste, an indicationOf things and times to comeEarly in the morning, late at nightSomebody seems to know just how this thing work's right'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody's looking out my doorHe's been snoopin' like a houndI'll grab his neck and shake him on downRepeat ChorusNow you can see me lyin' down in my swampAny time I feel disgustedYou'll see me do the Hippo Stomp
