Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme, probably originally a riddle and one of the best known in the English-speaking world. He is typically portrayed as an anthropomorphic egg, though he is not explicitly described as such.

Humpty Dumpty was popularised in the United States on Broadway by actor George L. Fox in the pantomime musical Humpty Dumpty.[2] The show ran from 1868 to 1869, for a total of 483 performances, becoming the longest-running Broadway show until it was surpassed in 1881 by Hazel Kirke.

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.

He fell off the wall – from the highest high – so high!
He had a great fall – from the highest high – high!
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 and gone were the roofs,
All he could see was horses and hooves.

He fell off the wall – from the highest high – so high!
He had a great fall – from the highest high – high!
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
