Humpty Dumpty

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

Humpty dumpty and Betty Louise
Stole a Sony and some Camembert cheese
She said "Humpty baby, take me
Oooh, yeah, take me to the river
Cause I like the way it runs, yeah,
Take me to the river
You know I like the way it runs, yeah"

He said, "Everything's going my way"
he said, "Maybe it's my la-lucky day"
And he said, "anything you want
I can give"
She said, "I wanna take your picture
Just for me"
He said, "Anything"
She said, "Up there, baby
Get on the wall babe"

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
And looked at her as he was falling
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again

Hey, Betty Louise
Hey, Betty Louise
She said, "I like custard in the summer, honey"
Oh yeah, what it takes to be queen
Hey, what it takes to be queen
What it takes to be...oh
