Don McLean - Jump Lyrics

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, you jump for joy and happiness
You jump when things go right, you jump when you're asleep
And you hear a strange voice in the night
Sometimes we get too used to things, they don't mean what they did
I know that what make my floor, make another fellow's lid

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, I'm always on the lookout for something fresh and new
Like being on a cookout with a crazy kangaroo
Just when I think I've found a place where I'm sure I wanna stop
My body won't quit cooking and my mind begins to hop

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, I'm thinking about a thousand things, I'm a losing lots of sleep
I'm gliding on my inner wings, I'm getting set to leap
I'm riding on my pony, I'm letting out my rope
I'm looking for an idea that a big bar of soap

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, one man was cold and hungry, one man was rich and well
One man stood at the window as the crowd began to yell
While the poor man prayed to Jesus and the rich man made a deal
One man was standing naked yelling, "Do what you feel"

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by

Well, you better jump, jump, jump, if you wanna live at all
Yes, you better jump, jump, jump, even though you're bound to fall
'Cause they're gonna make you sorry, gonna make you cry
If you don't jump, jump, jump, into the seat by and by
