Humptey Dumptey

                  

Humptey Dumptey sat on a wall,
Humptey Dumptey had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humptey together again.

Humptey Dumptey Alternative Lyrics

Parody Version

Humptey Dumptey sat on the wall eating black bananas
Where do you think he put the skins?
Down the kings pajamas

Long Version

Humptey Dumptey sat on a wall,
Humptey Dumptey had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humptey together again.
So off they went to fairyland,
to buy some magic glue,
to fix the toys together again
and Humptey Dumptey too.

Another Version

Hupty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the Kings horses and all the Kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Then two kids walked t'wards the wall
One so small he only could crawl
Humpty Dumpty was such a good friend
The eldest one took him and put him to bed

When Mother got home she said "What a mess"
Humty Dumpty's wounds must be dressed
She bandaged him up until he looked whole
And hoped that next he wouldn't step in a hole

Humpty Dumpty quickly got well
The children's love was just the right spell
Now humpty lives in a land full of pillows
So now when he falls he is saved by a pillow

Information About Humptey Dumptey

Humpty Dumpty is a nursery rhyme where in the character is portrayed to be an egg; however there is no suggestion in the rhyme itself that Humpty Dumpty is an egg. When it was first printed in 181Riddles similar to Humpty Dumpty have been recorded by folklorists in languages other than English. For instance Boule Boule in French or Lille Trille in Norwegian and Swedish. Prior to meaning a "diminutive, clumsy person","the humpty dumpty" meant a brandy drink boiled using ale.

Another possibility is that Humpty Dumpty was a large cannon located at the top of a church tower at the Siege of Colchester during the English Civil War. "Humpty" crashed to the ground when the church tower was hit by enemy cannon fire.

For kids this rhyme might help teach younger children the significance of reversible and irreversible changes - an egg can be smashed but thereafter you cannot put it back together again.
