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
