ALL : Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
GROUP 2 : A raven cried “Croak"
And they all tumbled down,
ALL : Bumpety, bumpety bump!
GROUP 2 : The mare broke her knees,
And the farmer his crown,
ALL : Lumpety lumpety, lump!
GROUP 3 : The mischievous raven flew laughing away,
ALL : Bumpety, bumpety, bump!
GROUP 3 : And vowed he would serve them the
same next day,
All : Lumpety, lumpety, lump!
