[Verse 1]
[D]We went on a picnic a while ago,
and something very strange happened.
We were by an open field,
and I heard an unusual sound.
It wasn't a bird.
It wasn't a dog.
It sounded like crying
or moaning or sighing.
Can you hear it? Listen.
That's it, now look very carefully
and you'll see a bump,
a lonely little bump and he's singing.
I'm a bump, a bump, a bump, a bump,
in the [G]middle of the [A]prairie,
[G]the land around is [A]flat, flat, flat,
I'm [G]a bump that no [A]one [Bm]sees,
just a [G]bump that [A]no one sees.
[D]Now this bump just wasn't
happy being a bump.
He longed for excitement.
He wanted to be something bigger.
And he thought, what if I was a hill?
[G]People would [C]come from miles around
to to[G]boggan down my [D]side.
[C]Sleds and card[G]board [D]boxes,
they'd go dip [C]and slip and [D]slide.
They'd [C]shiver on my hill[D]top,
drink [C]co coa, and watch [D]the sky.
Then the [G]northern light[C]s
would dance them home
to their cozy beds and their
happy rooms.
and their fires sized to [D]dry.
I'm a bump, a -dump, [Bm]a -dump,
[D]in the [G]middle [D]of the [A]prairie.
The [G]land around is [A]flat, flat, flat.
I'm [G]a bump that [A]no one [Bm]sees.
Just a [G]bump that [A]no one [D]sees.
I know something bigger than a hill.
What if I was a mountain?
[G]Five, ten, [C]fifteen thousand feet
I'd zoom to[D]wards the sky.
My [C]slopes would be world [D]-famous
to hike [C]and ski [G]and [D]climb.
There'd be [C]wa terfalls
and [D]mountain goats
and [C]trees of every [D]size.
Then the [G]yodeler[C]s from Switzerland
would practice up for weeks on end.
Hear the echoes [D]fly.
Little old lady, little old lady,
I'm a bump, a -dump,
a -dump, a -dump,
in the [G]middle [D]of the [A]prairie.
[G]The land around is [A]flat, flat, flat.
I'm a [G]bump that no [A]one [Bm]sees,
just a [G]bump that [D]no one sees.
What if I was a volcano?
I'd [G]start off [C]very quietly
with a shimmy, shimmy shake.
[D]Peo[C]ple in their hou[D]ses
would [C]tremble [D]with the quake
And [C]slowly I'd get big[D]ger
and glow [C]like a red [D]stoplight
Then everyone [C]would run and hide
when I got hotter
Deep inside and explode with [D]all my might
I'm a bump, ba -dump, ba -dump, bump
In the [G]middle of the [A]prairie [G]land around is [A]flat,
flat, flat.
I'm a [G]bump that no [A]one [Bm]sees.
Just a [G]bump that no [A]one [D]sees.
Ah, phooey!
A bump is all I'll ever be.
Hey, what's happening?
Ow! Ouch! Be careful.
What do you think you're doing?
Well, what do you know?
Someone's decided to build
a house on me!
Hooray!
I'm [G]not a [C]fierce volcano,
or a mountain, or a hill.
[D]And I'v[C]e got dreams like eve[D]ryone,
I'll [C]never get my fill
[D]But I think for[C] now I'll stay rig[D]ht here,
[C]things are looking [D]fine
And I've [G]got a fam[C]ily here with me,
a bump is all I want to be
I'm [G]proud to [C]have a [D]sign that says
Bump -a -dump -a -dump -bump
In the [G]middle [D]of the [A]prairie
My fa[G]vorite land is [A]flat, flat, flat
I'm [G]as happy [A]as can [Bm]be
I'm the [G]bump that [A]you can't [D]see
I'm as happy [A]as can [Bm]be
I'm the [G]bump that [A]you can't [D]see
Hey, it's not so bad being a bump after all!
