Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Humpty Dumpty : [singing]  I'm Humpty Dumpty, king of wealth / This wall of gold is my throne! / I built it high, till it reaches the sky! / This wall is all my own! / The more I have, the more I want! / I love the glistening stuff! / There's power untold in these pieces of gold! / I've never had enough!

• Humpty Dumpty : Why didn't I know there was gold in the sun? / I'll get that, too, before I'm done!

• [last lines] 

  Humpty Dumpty : Oh, I climbed too high / To build my wall, / But I was greedy / And I had a great fall!

  Chorus : And all the king's horses / And all the king's men / Couldn't put Humpty together again!
