Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty sat on the ground
Humpty Dumpty looked all around
Gone were the chimneys, gone were the roofs
All he could see were ankles and hooves
Poor old Humpty
Poor old Humpty
Poor old Humpty
Dumpty
Poor old Humpty
Poor old Humpty
Poor old Humpty
Poor old Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty counted to ten
Humpty Dumpty built up again
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Are happy that Humpty is together again
