Hump De Bump Lyrics
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lyrics
Forty detectives this week
Forty detectives strong
Takin' a stroll down Love Street
Strollin' is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu
(Oh no!)
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump
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
Workin' the beat as we speak
Working the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependant
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump, c'mon
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
Hump de bump doop bodu
Bump de hump doop bap
Hump de bump doop bodu
(Oh no!)
Bump de hump doop bodu
Hump de bump doop bap
Bump de hump doop bodu
Bump bump
Listen to me what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance
And a chance to make out
Livin' in a citadel
It's hot enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now
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
