Lyrics:
All right! Stop whatcha doin', 'cause I'm about to ruin
The image and the style that ya used to
I look funny-but yo I'm making money, see
So yo world I hope you're ready for me
Now gather round, I'm the new fool in town
And my sound's laid down by the Underground
I drink up all the Hennessy ya got on ya shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a "umpty"
Yo ladies, oh how I like to funk thee
And all the rappers in the top ten--please allow me to bump thee
I'm steppin' tall, y'all, and just like Humpty Dumpty
You're gonna fall when the stereos pump me
I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky
I'm spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy
I'm sick wit dis, straight gangsta mack
But sometimes I get ridiculous
I'll eat up all your crackers and your licorice
Hey yo fat girl, c'mere--are ya ticklish?
Yeah, I called ya fat; look at me, I'm skinny
It never stopped me from getting busy
I'm a freak, I like the girls with the boom
I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom
I'm crazy, allow me to amaze thee
They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me
I'm still getting in the girls' pants
And I even got my own dance
[Hook]
The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the hump
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, just watch me do the Humpty Hump
Do ya know what I'm doing, doing the Humpty Hump
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
[Verse Two]
People say "Yo, Humpty, you're really funny lookin'"
That's all right cause I get things cookin'
Ya stare, ya glare, ya constantly try to compare me
But ya can't get near me
I give 'em more, see, and on the floor, B
All the girls they adore me
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really being sincere
Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still getting paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge
Both how I'm living and my nose is large
I get stupid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid
I use a word that don't mean nothing, like looptid
I sang on "Doowutchalike", and if ya missed it
I'm the one who said, "Just grab 'im in the biscuits"
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write
All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
And now I'm gonna do my dance
[Hook]
[Breakdown]
Oh, yeah, that's the break, y'all
Let me hear a little bit of that bass groove right here
Oh, yeah!
Now that I told ya a little bit about myself
Let me tell ya a little bit about this dance
It's real easy to do--check it out
[Verse Three]
First I limp to the side like my leg was broken
Shaking and twitching kinda like I was smoking
Crazy wack funky
People say ya look like M.C. Hammer on crack, Humpty
That's all right cause my body's in motion
It's supposed to look like a fit or a convulsion
Anyone can play this game
This is my dance, y'all, Humpty Hump's my name
No two people will do it the same
Ya got it down when ya appear to be in pain
Humping, funking, jumping
Jig around, shaking ya rump
And when a doo-doo chump punk points a finger like a stump
Tell him step off, I'm doing the Hump
[Hook]
Black people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
White people, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Puerto Ricans, do the Humpty Hump, just keep on doing the hump
Samoans, do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Let's get stoopid!
[Hook]
Oh, yeah, come on and break it down
[Outro]
Once again, the Underground is in the house
I'd like to send a shout out to the whole world
Keep on doing the Humpty Dance
And to the ladies
Peace, and Humptiness forever

Yes, indeed. One of the definitive hip-hop releases of the ‘90s; from the opener (this track) to the reprise of the title track that closes the record, every single song was a master stroke.
"Peace and humptyness forever" -Shock G those words will live on forever
Sleep in peace Humpty 🙏🏾
Man, RIP Shock G... 04/22/21
This is timeless. True talent never dies. It lives on forever. Shock was ahead of his time like Hendirx. Thank you sir and all of Digital Underground.

I was signed to the same label as DU when they recorded this track. We both used to record at Starlight Sound in Richmond California. We used the same synth/keyboard (owned by the studio) that DU used for that Humpty baseline on our record - although not to the same effect as DU. That Humpty baseline is hip-hop history. So simple, so effective, perfect. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c22ryNivfZrPhNY.html

This was one of the songs that made Hip Hop the way it was from the 80s-mid 90s
Oh No, Not Humpty Too. 😢 My Sister and I were jamming to him two weeks ago. He was on "NOTHING BUT TROUBLE with Tupak and Digital Underground and Dan Akroyd." Spitting out the Vibrations. 🙏🏾✌🏾💜

George Clinton gave his seal of approval. I find it amusing that the rap cats get flack for sampling, but we in the ambient industrial thing don't. our entire genre is a cutup of a cutup. aka sampling.

Rest in Peace Shock G
I lost my BFF of 17 years May 19 of 2023! We always had inside jokes about this song! We're in our 40's and played this in a bar amongst young heads one night and caught some weird looks. We always laughed about it. With her year death anniversary approaching, this song ALWAYS plays on my saved playlist of over 600 songs. I definitely feel like it's her trying to cheer me up! RIP my beautiful Tara Leigh! September 27 1980-May 19 2023! ❤
A timeless classic!.
Shock G's death hit me considerably more than DMX. Though banned from many stations, this is TAME compared to a lot of 21st century rap.

RIP Gregory Jacobs, aka Shock G, aka Humpty Hump!
Without Shock G, without Digital Underground. There wouldn’t be no Tupac, Rest In Peach Shock. You brought us many great bangers & now your up in heaven with the greats.🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇😇🪽🪽🪽
RIP SHOCK G. Bay Area Original 🤘🏽
Rest in Peace Shock G.
Saw this on Yo MTV Raps back in the day. I didn't realize that was Shock G at the time. I thought it was a dude named Humpty haha. This song and the Underground will always have a special place in my heart for introducing us to imo the greatest rap artist ever Tupac. Peace and Humptiness forever.
Rest In Power, Shock G May you do the Humpty Dance forever

No matter how many times many artists sampled this song, this track will always be "The Humpy Dance".
Even after decades this production is as explosive as a thermonuclear bomb. A masterpiece on every level. George Clinton went wild with the production and Shock G and the groove are timeless! WOW!
I can still see myself dancing to this song back in my nightclub days... Good times!!!

Humpty was an artist
Real Talk !!!! There would be no 2 pac without shock G .. Which he brought out one of the greatest MC two rock the mic... Just a little hip hop history for these younger cats...
Without digital underground there may have never been Tupac how many cats out there Dont know PAC was a roadie w them and did his first song with digital underground rip shock g u definitely were a talented cat that really never got much credit may his family have strength threw this tough time of losing him ...sending a prayer to his family and friends ...rest in paradise !!

Word to the Digital Underground. Grandmasters of classic hype. So few tracks make everyone in the world bump like this one. Once heard it eats your soul until you know every last word. Even the Spice girls bit this one. Just brilliant.
Timeless and hilarious 😂 love this song r.i.p. Shock G.
One of the most danceable jans ever!
R.I.P. Shock G and Tupac. This was both y’all first gig . We know y’all showng them how to do the Humpty Dance in heaven.

A cool song from back in the day when rap was still good. This song has a good beat and the driving pulsing bass line has such a decadent hedonistic quality. A true OC (original classic).
This song is still a banger guys!
God bless your soul Shock G...rest with the angels!!! I loved your ingenuity and your genius, you will be missed!!!
I grew up on this music. Hip hop has gone downhill since the days of this song.
I still love my bay area folks, I B knocking this everyday. Oakland Town Buzzz !
