[Chorus]
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!

[Verse 1]
Just when I thought could I hit another one
So up jumps see me with the pumps and a bump
All stiggitty stiggity curves, getting on my good nerves
Looking like ice cream ready to be served
Stretch, bend it, can I get in it
If you wanna kick it with a G baby here's me
Cause I come equipped, I'm a pimp
Slippity slip, out your clothes and take a trip

[Chorus]
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!

[Verse 2]
Pumps and a bump, now many say a big butt
But if you're hip you know that it's a phone crud
It's making the brothers go crazy in the 2-G
Shake like a bottle girl fine as wine G
So when I here I got a step (to a fine thing)
Never been a coward ('cause it's a eastside thing)
Just step right up to the girl with the big butt
Tell her what's up you got the pumps and a bump

[Bridge]
Men: All that we want
For the rest of our life
Is a girl thick and tight
(Ladies!)
Women:All that we want
Is man who is right
Who can hit it all night!

We gotta bump the pumps!

[Chorus:]
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!

[Verse 3]
I don't like 'em figgity fat! (No!)
I like 'em stiggity stacked (Yeah!)
You wiggity wiggity wack if you ain't got biggity back (Awwww!)
Now when you see the rump shaking on the dance floor
You following with your eyes and get hypnotized
But a fella like me will dance up to some chopping and chewing
Keep 'em bottling you know I keep 'em bobbing
I put my fingerprints all over that rump
I'm guilty as hell but I love the pumps and the bump! (Ow!)

[Chorus]
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!
Pumps and a bump, pumps and a bump
We like the girls with the pumps and a bump!

[Bridge: Teddy Riley]
Bring the pumps and flex the rump so I can ride

[Ad-libs: Aaron Hall]
Bring the pumps, baby
Step on, baby
Bring the pumps, baby
Step on, baby

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born 30 March 1962), better known by his stage name MC Hammer, is an American rapper, dancer, entrepreneur, spokesman and occasional actor from Oakland, California. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for his hit records (such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”), flashy dance movements, choreography and his trademark Hammer pants. Hammer’s superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and Hip-Hop icon. He has sold more than fifty million records worldwide.

A multi-award winner, MC Hammer is considered a pioneer and innovator of pop rap, and is the first Hip-Hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. Hammer was later considered a sellout due in part to overexposure as an entertainer, and as a result of being too “commercial” when Rap was “hardcore”, then his image later becoming increasingly “gritty” to once again adapt to the ever-changing landscape of rap. Burrell became a preacher during the late 1990s with a Christian ministry program called MC Hammer and Friends. Additionally, he starred in a Saturday morning cartoon called Hammerman in 1991 and was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which aired during the summer of 2009. Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records in 1995.

Throughout his career, Hammer has managed his own recording business. As a result, he has created and produced his own acts including Oaktown’s 3.5.7, Common Unity, Special Generation, Analise, One Cause One Effect, Teabag, Dom Kimberley, Geeman, DRS, Pleasure Ellis, B Angie B, Stooge Playaz, Ho Frat Hoo! and Wee Wee, among others. A part of additional record labels, he has collaborated and has been associated with 2Pac, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, The Whole 9, Deion Sanders, and Big Daddy Kane, as well as others.
