Lyrics
"(I have a very important question: with a show of hands, who here has received a holiday gift that, well, was not something you asked for or ever really wanted? Well then, you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about in this next song.)

I made it very clear I've been dropping hints all year About the gift I hoped to find beneath the tree So imagine my surprise When right there before my eyes Was the last gift that a girl expects to see...

My baby gave me a hippogriff for Christmas (for Christmas!) A giant, feathery hippogriff, it's true (sad but true!) I expected jewels at least But instead I got this beast I have no word, he ate my bird ''Oh, what's a girl to do? (what to do?)''

My baby gave me a hippogriff for Christmas (for Christmas!) Its being here is cause for great alarm (great alarm!) Oh, it's just as you'd expect My entire house is wrecked It may be that my baby means me harm!

(Her baby gave her a hippogiff for Christmas) You might say he's high maintenance at best (at best!) Gotta bow approaching him Or he'll tear you limb from limb He's way too proud He squawks real loud [?]

(Her baby gave her a hippogiff for Christmas) Now I'm finding nests in every single room! Oh, he's easy to offend So I gotta just pretend I'm not annoyed he destroyed my favourite broom!

My baby couldn't have given me a diamond ring A captivating thing to make my heart go zing A sparkly robe, something every witch admires [?] my desire ([?]) I thought you loved me, baby, tell me what is up ([?]) [?]

My baby gave me a hippogriff for Christmas (for Christmas!) And now there's talon scratches 'cross my floor (across her floor!) Still, he's loyal as can be I am his priority If you're polite, he doesn't bite It's magic when he soars!

My baby gave me a hippogriff for Christmas (for Christmas!) If you wish for less, you're thinking way too small (you're thinking way too small!) [?] a friend He'll be with me till the end Oh, a hippogriff's the greatest gift of all! Yes, a hippogriff's the greatest gift of all! Hippogriff's the greatest gift of all!"
