    (Oh, oh, do me, baby)

    All right, stop whatcha doin' 'cause I'm about to ruin
    The image and the style that ya used to
    I look funny, but, yo, I'm makin' money, see
    So, yo, world I hope you're ready for me
    Now gather 'round, I'm the new fool in town
    And my sound's laid down by the Underground
    I drink up all the Hennessey ya got on ya shelf
    So just let me introduce myself
    My name is Humpty, pronounced with a Umpty
    Yo, ladies, oh, how I like to funk thee
    And all the rappers in the top ten
    Please allow me to bump thee
    I'm steppin' tall, y'all and just like Humpty Dumpty
    You're gonna fall when the stereos pump me
    I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky
    I'm spunky, I like my oatmeal lumpy
    I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
    But sometimes I get ridiculous
    I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
    Uh, yo fat girl, come here, are ya ticklish?
    Yeah, I called ya fat, look at me, I'm skinny
    It never stopped me from gettin' busy
    I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
    I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom, I'm crazy
    Allow me to amaze thee
    They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me
    I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants
    And I even got my own dance

    The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
    (Oh, do me, baby) come on, uh
    Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
    (Oh, oh, do me, baby) check me out y'all
    Do the Humpty Hump, just watch me do the Humpty Hump
    (Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) yeah
    Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what I'm doin'?)
    Do the Humpty Hump (doin' the Humpty Hump) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
    Come on, do the Humpty Hump, ha, do the Humpty Hump

    People say, "Yo, Humpty, you're really funny lookin'"
    That's all right 'cause I get things cookin'
    Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
    But ya can't get near me
    I give 'em more, see, and on the floor, be
    All the girls they adore me
    Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
    'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
    My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
    Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid
    I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge
    Both how I'm livin' and my nose is large
    I get stupid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid
    I'll use a word that don't mean nothin', like looptid
    I sang on Doowhutchalike, and if ya missed it
    I'm the one who said, "Just grab 'em in the biscuits"
    Also told ya that I like to bite
    Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write
    All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
    And now I'm gonna do my dance

    The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
    (Oh, do me, baby) come on, yeah, sexy lady
    Do the Humpty Hump, come on, uh, do the Humpty Hump
    (Oh, oh, do me, baby) sexy baby, everybody
    Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump (come on and do the Humpty Hump)
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) uh
    Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what we're doin'?)
    Do the Humpty Hump (we doin' the Humpty Hump, y'all) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
    Uh, do the Humpty Hump, watch me do the Humpty Hump

    Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
    Let a little of that bass groove right here
    A-doo-doo, a-doo-doo
    Oh, yeah
    Now that I told y'all a little bit about myself
    Let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
    It's real easy to do, check it out

    First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
    Shakin' and twitchin' kinda like I was smokin'
    Crazy, whack, funky
    People say, "You look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty"
    That's all right 'cause my body's in motion
    It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
    Anyone can play this game
    This is my dance, y'all, Humpty Hump's my name
    No two people will do it the same
    You got it down when you appear to be in pain
    Humpin', funkin', jumpin'
    Jig around, shakin' ya rump
    And when a doo-doo chump punk points a finger like a stump
    Tell him step off, I'm doin' the Hump

    The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
    (Oh, do me, baby) everybody, uh
    Do the Humpty Hump, come on, do the Humpty Hump
    (Oh, oh, oh, do me, baby) sexy lady
    Do the Humpty Hump (uh), do the Humpty Hump
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
    Do the Humpty Hump (do ya know what I'm doin'?)
    Do the Humpty Hump (we're doin' the Humpty Hump, y'all) (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)
    Uh, watch me do the Humpty Hump, uh, do the Humpty Hump
    Check it out (oh, oh, oh, do me, baby)

    Peace and humptiness forever
