Gump!
My name is Forrest
Gump!
Printed on my door is
Gump!
And on my shorts it says
Gump!

When I was little and I couldn't go to school
My mama found some way to get the man to bend the rule
I taught this nice young boy named Elvis how to strut
And then I went to Viet Nam, and got shot in the butt

Jenny wouldn't let me be her man
Though I wrote her every day from Viet Nam
Anyway, I saved Lieutenant Dan
Who said "Please, please, leave me"

My best friend Bubba didn't get to go back home
So I picked up the shrimpin' business on my own
And now as "Bubba Gump" I am a zillionaire
And I can use my magic shoes to take me anywhere

Jenny wouldn't say we could be wed
Though we did a funny thing one night in bed
Mama caught a cold and now she's dead
She said, "Wheeze, wheeze, poor me"

Now there's a little Forrest, Jenny said he's mine
And then she went and passed away, but we're both doing fine
So every morning when he goes off to that place
I sit my rump down on a stump, and stare off into space

Jenny went and left me with a kid
And she said he's a result of what we did
Even though he looks like her friend Sid
He says "Geez, geez, Dad-dy"
That's me
Dad-dy, ooh
