About this song
A classic British nursery rhyme first recorded in the early 1800s, traditionally depicting an egg. Its bouncy rhythm and dramatic 'great fall' make it a favourite for lap-bouncing games across the UK.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Bounce your baby gently on your knee, then 'fall' on the big line.
- Use big gestures for the fall.
- Repeat — anticipation of the fall brings giggles.
Lyrics & Rhyme
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.
