If memory serves, it goes as follows: "The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice From her seat on the hilltop above, As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice Came tiptoeing down to her love. Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound Of the song that they sang as they met. His inamorata Adjusted her garter And lifted her voice in duet."

WWI produced a sea-change, only compounded in the aftermath of WWII. The world had barely settled, when the age of technology was born - accelerating change beyond anything imagined. Not only do we not live in the same world as our parents did, our younger children do not live in the same world as their older siblings! I've had students react with disbelief when told there were no cell phones when I was a child. A friend tried explaining to his students about life before personal computers, social media and cell phones. They couldn't comprehend.

Heres the lyrics for your sing a long! The Hippopotamus Song Ian Wallace With Donald Swann A bold hippopotamus was standing one day On the banks of the cool Shalimar He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay By the light of the evening star Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair His fair hippopotami maid The hippopotamus was no ignoramus And sang her this sweet serenade Mud, mud, glorious mud Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood So follow me follow, down to the hollow And there let me wallow in glorious mud The fair hippopotama he aimed to entice From her seat on that hilltop above As she hadn't got a ma to give her advice Came tiptoeing down to her love Like thunder the forest re-echoed the sound Of the song that they sang as they met His inamorata adjusted her garter And lifted her voice in duet Kranz, kranz schmoodliger kranz, Holudshia shretsaca coldliger kranz Heckvas lees fer you dawgo Follow me follow Begeelio bedabo Down to the hollow Wenyou taub me aput in some true gulio kranz That will prove our cultural relations. Now more hippopotami began to convene On the banks of that river so wide I wonder now what am I to say of the scene That ensued by the Shalimar side They dived all at once with an ear-splitting sposh Then rose to the surface again A regular army of hippopotami All singing this haunting refrain Mud, mud, glorious mud Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood So follow me follow, down to the hollow And there let us wallow in glorious mud!
