The first thing that they tell you
|
Is that you will be king
|
A priest at least they tell you
|
And that then everything
|
Will be alright at last
|
You will finally be cast
|
Into your rightful throne
|
They’ve got it all down cold
|
Next thing that they tell you
|
Is not to be afraid
|
Think you’re better than the others
|
Somewhat fine and brave
|
They lead astray
|
You could be up there all alone
|
A star they say
|
A million miles away from home
|
An empty space
|
Is that the place you wanted?
|
The last thing that they tell you about
|
Is they ask you «Will it hurt?»
|
They said,"Sell what you can, boy
|
Get out while the getting’s good"
|
And they whisper in the evening
|
Now, all around town
|
They said, «Woo, Humpty Dumpty
|
The king is falling down»
|
I said,"Just like Humpty Dumpty
|
(All the king’s horses
|
The king is falling down"
|
(And all the king’s men)
|
I said, «Ooh, Humpty Dumpty now
|
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now)
|
The king is falling down»
|
(Back together again)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(All the king’s horses and all the king’s men)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(All the king’s horses and all the king’s men)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(All the king’s horses and all the king’s men)
|
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
|
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again) |
