Lyrics[]
Mr. Bump has more accidents than anyone I know,
Mr. Bump is all bandaged from his head down his toe.
Mr. Bump just keeps bumping into anything in sight,
And it doesn't matter if it's on his left or on his right.
(Chorus)
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bing, Bang, Boom!
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bump, Oops! OW THAT HURTS!
When Mr. Bump worked upon a farm, he tripped over the dog.
And he spilt all the farmer's milk upon the courtyard floor!
The farmer's wife got angry and the little dog he laughed,
But the farmyard cat he didn't mind, he lapped the milk right up!
(Chorus)
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bing, Bang, Boom!
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bump, Oops! OW THAT HURTS!
When Mr. Bump was a carpenter, he hammered on the nail.
But he missed the nail completely and he hit his finger! (OW!)
His little thumb swelled up so big it looked like a balloon!
It throbbed and hurt, he yelled "OW! I hope it's better soon."
(Chorus)
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bing, Bang, Boom!
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bump, Oops! OW THAT HURTS!
Bumping into doors, and bumping to bikes.
Bumping into windows, and bumping into trikes!
Mr. Bump is worse than Humpty Dumpty when he falls,
But he really just can't help it all!
Mr. Bump has more accidents than anyone I know,
Mr. Bump is all bandaged from his head down his toe.
Mr. Bump just keeps bumping into anything in sight,
And it doesn't matter if it's on his left or on his right.
(Chorus)
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bing, Bang, Boom!
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bump, Oops! OW THAT HURTS!
While Mr. Bump was on holiday, cruising on a boat,
Mr. Bump, he strolled around the deck and letters home, he wrote.
But the wind blew up and Mr. Bump he fell over the side,
And the lifeboat had to rescue him and hang him out to dry.
(Chorus)
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bing, Bang, Boom!
Bump, Crash, Smash, Tinkle, Bump, Oops! OW THAT HURTS! (x2)
Trivia[]
- The song sounds very similar to If You're Happy and You Know It.
- Earlier copies of the cassette cover depicted Mr. Bump with six bandages around him. Three on his head, three around his middle. In later editions, the topmost bandage was removed to reveal the top of his head.
