Humpty Dumpty is an original song that first debuted in Chuck E's Rockin' Rhymes.
The song is somewhat based off the nursey rhyme "Humpty Dumpty".
Lyrics[]
Helen: Humpty Dumpty's on the wall, he's been up there all day.
His mom's afraid he's gonna fall, but he just wants to stay.
She asked him why and he replied if I try real hard to fly.
I could fly away, fly away-ay-ay...
Chuck E.: Oh yeah.. so glad I put this tape in.
Now here's the real story about Humpty, he's my homie.
A pretty good egg, not a slacker or a phony
Man he grow up in his nest, his mama cluckin' like a chicken
Didn't like the straw and the way that it was stickin' to his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
Now Humpty starting wishin' he was more than what he was.
Like a solider or a prince, or a rebel with a cause
He started getting restless, like a clock that kept on ticking
The seconds, and the minutes, and the hours, started picking at his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
Helen: Humpty Dumpty's on the wall, he's been up there all day.
His mom's afraid he's gonna fall, but he just wants to stay.
She asked him why and he replied, you know there's more to me
Then what you see, what you see, what you see, yeah-ah-ah..
Chuck E.: Humpty.. rode up to the barnyard, and he headed for the gate
Didn't care that he had homework, and it was getting late.
He had to get outside and roll away from the rest
He didn't want to be all safe and warm inside the nest, inside his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
All his buddies, they were climbing up the wall that fateful day
And when they spotted Humpty Dumpty, they just started to say
Pasqually: Hey dude, come on up, you gotta see the view from here!
Jasper: What gives, are you a chicken egg shaking with fear?
Chuck E., Jasper and Pasqually: Inside your shell, your shell, your mighty fine shell
Helen: Humpty Dumpty's on the wall, he's been up there all day.
His mom's afraid he's gonna fall, and crack his shell away
But he just says there's a me inside, that could fly away
Fly away, fly away, fly away-ay-ay..
Chuck E.: Yo Humpty what you doing, man, you're climbing up so high
And if you take a spill, your going to make your mama cry
But the others they were screaming
Munch, Pasqually and Jasper: Come on, your almost to the top!
Chuck E.: And Humpty huffed and puffed, but he didn't want to stop, inside his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
Cause there was something that he wanted, and he knew that it was there.
That's when his buddies started chanting, and it floated on the air
Munch, Jasper and Pasqually: Go Humpty! Go Humpty! Go Go Humpty!
Jasper, Pasqually and Chuck E.: Inside your shell, your shell, your mighty fine shell
Helen: Humpty Dumpty's on the wall, he's been up there all day.
He knows he's gonna take the fall, but it will be okay
His mama asked him why he replied it's my time now to fly, fly away, fly away, fly away-ay-ay..
Chuck E.: Now Humpty sat up on the wall a day, and tried to figure out
What was going on inside, and just wanted to get out
Then he jumped up, raised his arms, and gave a mighty yell
And that's the moment when he lost his balance and he fell upon his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
But something happened when old humpty dumpty hit the ground,
There was the crackin' of the shell, and then a funny little sound
It was a chippin' of a chicken, newly hatched, just set free
It was the person deep inside that Humpty always wanted to be, outside his shell, his shell, his mighty fine shell
Helen: Humpty Dumpty's off the wall, he's outside of his shell
He knew he had to show them all, it turned out very well
Sometimes to grow you have to say, let me fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away, yeah-ah.. (x2)
Trivia[]
- The demo version of the song opts to use the verse "Will the real Humpty Dumpty please climb up?" (parodying the song "The Real Slim Shady" by Eminem.) The final version instead uses the verse "Go Humpty! Go Humpty! Go Go Humpty!".
