"My Baby Gave Me a Hippogriff for Christmas" was a Christmas song performed by Celestina Warbeck, probably included in her Christmas album "Nothing Like a Holiday Spell", released in 2017.[1]

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 words, he ate my purse
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 hippogriff 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
This sorceress is stressed! (So stressed!)

(Her baby gave her a hippogriff 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 could have given me a diamond ring
A captivating thing that makes my heart go zing
A sparkly robe is something every witch admires
Oh boy my baby conjured me my desires (sarcasm)
It could've been a toad or a cuddly crup
I thought you loved me, baby, tell me what is up
I saw the Christmas tree, but now I'm what you call "mad"
And now I'm struggling with this temperamental pet

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!)
Oh I found a faithful friend
Who'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!"
