## Summary

The video begins with Tamito hopping around with the hiccups. After the first dance sequence, everyone tries different ways to get the hiccups away. First Leo tries scaring, then the ant tries, then Blas, then Gomi, then Lalo, and while the brown mouse manages to scare him a lot, it still doesn’t work. Afterwards, no one knows what to do. They suggest he either drink or eat something, or he hold his breath. While they think about what to do, the ducks from Patitos Cua Cua Cua swim over to Tamito. After another dance sequence, and the same scaring sequence, the video ends with Tamito still having uncured hiccups.

## Letra

(Música)

Salta salta y rebalsa

no lo pueden ya parar

salta salta y no descansa

alguien tiene que ayudar.

Con un susto se le pasa

quien lo quiera asustar

tiene hipo y ya no aguanta

va a inundar todo el lugar.

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopótamo

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopótamo

El león le da un sustón

la hormiguita una asustadita

el elefante un susto gigante

asombroso es el del oso

y muy fino el del pingüino

el ratón lo asusta un montón.

(Música)

Sigue el hipo y no le calma

ya no saben que inventar

tomar agua, comer algo

aguantar sin respirar.

Mientras todos se preocupan

y lo quieren ayudar

los patitos se divierten

chapoteando en el lugar.

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopótamo

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopótamo

El león le da un sustón

la hormiguita una asustadita

el elefante un susto gigante

asombroso es el del oso

y muy fino el del pingüino

el ratón lo asusta un montón.

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopótamo

Hip hip hipopo hiporopopó

tiene hipo el hipopo el hipopó ¡tamo!
