Fred Penner - The Bump lyrics

I'm a bump (Ba-dum ba-dum bump) In the middle of the prairie The land around is flat flat flat I'm a bump that no one sees Just a bump that no one sees (What if I was a hill) People would come from miles around To tobaggan down my side Slides and cardboard boxed They'd go dip and slip and slide They'd shiver on my hill tops Drink cocoa and watch the sky Then the northern lights would dance them home To their cosy beds and their happy rooms And their firesides to dry I'm a bump (Ba-dum ba-dum bump) In the middle of the prairie The land around is flat flat flat I'm a bump that no one sees Just a bump that no one sees (What if I was a mountain) Five, ten, fifteen thousand feet I'd zoom towards the sky My slopes would be world famous To hike and ski and climb There'd be water falls and mountain goats And trees of every size And yodellers from Switzerland Would practice up for weeks on end Oh here the echos fly I'm a bump (Ba-dum ba-dum bump) In the middle of the prairie The land around is flat flat flat I'm a bump that no one sees Just a bump that no one sees (What if I was a volcano) I'd start off very quietly with a shimi-shimi-shake The people in their houses Would tremble with the quake But slowly I'd get bigger And glow like a red stop light Then everyone would run and hide When I got hotter deep inside And explode with all my might I'm a bump (Ba-dum ba-dum bump) In the middle of the prairie The land around is flat flat flat I'm a bump that no one sees Just a bump that no one sees I'm not a fierce volcano or a mountain or a hill And I've got dreams like everyone I'll never get my fill But I think for now I'll stay right here Things are looking fine Cause I've got a family here with me And a bump is all I want to be I'm proud to have a sign I'm a bump (Ba-dum ba-dum bump) In the middle of the prairie The land around is flat flat flat I'm as happy as can be I'm a bump that you can see
