Hippotamus Song

This is one I wrote several years ago and it's really Blake's 7. The chorus was by [livejournal.com profile] grumpoldusenaut
Tune- The Hippotamus Song. (Mud Mud, Glorious Mud)

I meant to put this in [livejournal.com profile] obscene_filkers... and I've now moved it there.

Ah yes, I remember that. :-)

I'd written the chorus, but couldn't get any further. So a few months later, we were sitting in the lounge at the Eclecticon hotel, all by ourselves because the Americans had abandoned us and our flights home weren't until the evening, with nothing better to do than write smutty filks, and I suggested that watervole provide some verses to go with it...

It actually ended up a lot less filthy (at least until the last verse) than we expected. So we consoled ourselves by finding slightly different words to "Black leather band".

Of course, we had to shut up occasionally, when other people wandered into the lounge - including the rather fit example of a New York policeman, in his skin-tight black leather trousers. I enjoyed that. :-)

Incidentally, was that supposed to be posted to obscene filkers?
