Humpty Dumpty — Lyrics

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.

Sing it together

Nursery rhymes are one of the earliest and best ways to build language. Their rhythm and rhyme help babies and toddlers hear the sounds inside words — the very skill (phonological awareness) that later powers reading. Sing Humpty Dumpty at bath time, in the car, or before bed, and let your child fill in the last word of each line.
