Gump Lyrics

by "Weird Al" Yankovic
parody of "Lump" by The Presidents of the USA

Gump sat alone on a bench in the park.
"My name is Forrest," he'd casually remark.
Waitin' for the bus with his hands in his pockets,
He just kept sayin' life is like a box of chocolates

He's Gump, He's Gump
What's in his head?
He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump
Is he in-bred?

Gump was a big celebrity.
He told JFK that he really had to pee.
He never feels too dumb because
His mom always told him stupid is as stupid does

He's Gump, He's Gump
He's kinda square.
He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump
What's with that hair?

Run... run... run, run, now Forrest
Run... run... run like the wind now
Run... run... run, run, now Forrest
Run... stop!

His buddy Bubba was a shrimp-lovin' man
His friend with no legs he'd call Lieutenant Dan
His girlfriend Jenny was kind of a slut
He went to the White House, showed LBJ his butt

He's Gump, He's Gump
He's not too bright
He's Gump, He's Gump, He's Gump
But he's all right

Is this Gump out of his head?
I think so
Is this Gump really brain-dead?
I think so
Did this Gump make lots of bread?
I think so

And that's all I have to say about that

Lots of bread means lots of money...its a reference to Gump's success with the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. No innuendo necessary.

I thought the line "Did this Gump make lots of bread?" was a reference to the masses of money the movie made at the box office. I don't know :)

Both songs are so weird, which one is really better?

Cover art for Gump lyrics by Weird Al Yankovic

"Gump" is better. And I mean this objectively an unbiased-ly. What tips the balance is the "ruuuuun" part in the bridge. That was a genious incorportation into the song. Also to add to that, Forrest GUmp was a great movie, and the lyrics to "Lump" seem kinda stupid or meaningsless. I'm sure they mean something though, and I should check it out on this site, but I'm sure nomatter what it is I'll still always enjoy "Gump" more.

What does this mean?: "Does this Gump make lots of bread?" I'm sure it's an innuendo and, because of that, never asked anybody in fear of it being something bad or me looking stupid...

Is it a bad thing to prefer the parody ending to the real one?
