Jump Jump – Lyrics
Wearing stripes, arms up high, as tall as can be
Nothing more than a frozen smile to see
In the cage he’ll defy all that’s logical
Under lights, stay up all night with his formula
In the grip in the step of potential rage
Oh it’s hip, formulated to fascinate
If you do it like this: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!
She moves faster than any eye can see
Moving parts that aren’t moved normally
In the haze what it isn’t is what you see
On and off, up and down, like a yo yo string
Try to do it like this: jump! jump!
No, no, like this: jump! jump!
Do it for a kiss: jump! jump!
Do it like this: jump! jump!
They shine, we shield our eyes to see
What is the dazzling and the enchanted
They whine “come closer to me”
That is the dizzying, the dancing sorcery
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump jump
Whoa whoa, my little doggie, he does a trick
He went to school to learn how to sit
We were excited, delighted having fun
As we decended the exit, got off the bus
We got friends, we got fans now, and this is proof
Can you tell me why that guy is on the roof?
Oh ho, do it like this: jump! jump!
Try it like this: jump! jump!
Do it more like this: jump! jump!
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump
Jump little doggie. do what she say. jump jump
