"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty
Together again
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty
Together again
Humpty Dumpty sat on the ground
Humpty Dumpty looked all around
Gone were the chimneys and gone were the roofs
And he could see
Were buckles and hoofs
Humpty Dumpty counted to ten
Humpty Dumpty got up again
All the king's horses
And the king's men
Were happy that Humpty's
Together again"
Шалтай-Болтай
Сидел на стене.
Шалтай-Болтай
Свалился во сне.
Вся королевская конница,
Вся королевская рать
Не может Шалтая,
Не может Болтая,
Шалтая-Болтая,
Болтая-Шалтая,
Шалтая-Болтая собрать!
