Hump de Bump lyrics
by Billy Preston
[Intro]
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya (Woo!)
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
[Verse 1]
Forty detectives this week
Forty detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-defendant?
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bode
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu (Oh, no!)
Bump de hump, doop bode
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump (Woo!)
[Chorus]
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
[Verse 2]
Workin' the beat, as we speak
Workin' the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong?
Can I get my co-dependent?
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump (Come on!)
[Chorus]
Must have been a hundred miles
Any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
Gon' getchya, gon' shake ya
[Refrain]
Hump de bump, doop bode
Bump de hump, doop bop
Hump de bump, doop bodu (Oh, no!)
Bump de hump, doop bode
Hump de bump, doop bop
Bump de hump, doop bodu
Bump, bump
[Chorus]
Listen to me, what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circ*mstance and
A chance to make out
Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll and
I'm wide awake now
It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear, but
The way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky? I'm
I'm wide awake now
