[Lyric] Mrs. Hippopotamuses Live at The Ritz Raleigh NC - 10/29/16 (Relient K)

[Intro]
This song is called "Mrs. Hippotamuses'"

[Refrain]
O-H-I-O!
I owe it to you
There's nothing better than knowing where you come from
Here we go Brownies, here we go
O-H-I-O!
Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!

[Verse 1]
I grew up in the sticks: small town, Erie Canal
Tuscarawas Valley, class clowns, and dairy cows
Sometimes we know it's getting better than it is right now
We're living simple, there's a chance to let it all take place
And watch the light around you shed some life upon your face
I wish it didn't take me all this time to figure it out
O-H-I-O!

[Chorus]
Now everybody say, "Let's hear it for the Cleveland Browns!"
Before the Cuyahoga River burns the whole downtown
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
O-H-I-O!
They do karate while we're setting up and checking the sounds
Someone singing along with Rivers, “It ain’t so, you say"
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
[Refrain]
O-H-I-O!
Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!
O-H-I-O!
I owe it to you
There's nothing better than knowing where you come from

[Verse 2]
I watch a generation to grow up and graduate
There's all this light around you
Oh, how you radiate
But oh, what you gonna do?
Oh no, what you gonna do?
We're living simple, there's a chance to let it all take place
And watch the light around you shed some life upon your face
I swear I feel it in me, I'm telling you it's true
O-H-I-O!

[Chorus]
Now everybody say, "Let's hear it for the Cleveland Browns!"
Before the Cuyahoga River burns the whole downtown
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
O-H-I-O!
Mrs. Hippopamuses' otter water park admission
We'll ride the roller coasters over every holiday
Sandusky summertime is 45 minutes away
[Refrain]
O-H-I-O!
Here we go Brownies, here we go, woof! woof!
O-H-I-O!
I owe it to you
There's nothing better than knowing where you come from

[Outro]
Thank you!
