To the jumping little children And the kids I need to meet Check out little homie with his funkalicious beat Spinning time, spinning rhymes Is what I like to do The crazy energy is like the JLC blue Chris and Jay are on the mike and they're about to wail Come all you lads and lassies And listen to this tale
DA little story that happened to me One Gday as I was walking down the Yule By The Sea The Dsun was very bright, the day was very warm "G***" I said "A guiness wouldn't do me any harm"
So I Dslid into the bar and I called for a stout "I'm Gsorry" said the barman "The beer is soldout, DTake the whiskey thats ten years in the wood." "No Gthanks, I'll try the cider cause I hear that its good."
But Dnever, never, and never again If I Glive to one hundred, or one hundred and ten For I Dfell to the ground and I couldn'a get up After Gdrinking just a quart of that Johnny Jump Up
DJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah CJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah GJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, DYeah yeah
After Ddrinking quite a few of those I went into the yard Where I Gbumped into big Goofy, the crispy nasty guard "Come Dhere to me boy, don't you know I am the law?" I Gupped with me fist, I shattered his jaw (Ooooh!)
He Dfell to the ground with his knees doubled up And I Gran, what a plan, before the sucker got up I Dknew that if he got me I'd be in the lock up But it Gwasn't me that hit him, it was the Johnny Jump Up
[Riff 2]
Well the Dnext thing I met down at Yule By The Sea Was a Gcripple on crutches and he says to me: "Young Dman, if you can, please listen for a minute, I Ggot me a glass, there's nothing left in it"
"I'm Dafraid of me life that I'll be hit by a car, Won't you Ghelp me cross the road to the bar?" After Ddrinking just a quart of that cider so sweet He Gthrew down his crutches, he danced in the street
YeaDh, and never, never, and never again If I Glive to one hundred, or one hundred and ten I Dfell to the ground and I couldn'a get up After Gdrinking just a quart of that Johnny Jump Up
DJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah CJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah GJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, DYeah yeah
[Riff 3 Throughout] Well, I went down to the Lee Road, a friend for to see They call it the madhouse, in Cork By The Lee But when I arrived, the truth I do tell, They had the poor bugger locked up in the cell [Riff 3 Throughout] Said the guard, testing him, "Say these words if you can:" 'Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran.'" "Tell them I'm not crazy, tell them I'm not mad, It was only a sup of the bottle I had" [Riff 2]
A man Ddied in the yule by the name of MacNab They Gwashed him and laid him outside on the slab And DDr. O'Connor, his measurements to take His Gwife took him home to a bloody fine wake
ADbout 12 O'clock and the beer it was high The Gcorpse sat up and it said with a sigh "I Dcan't get to heaven, they won't let me up Til I Gtake them a quart of that Johnny Jump Up"
BuDt never, never, and never again If I Glive to one hundred, or one hundred and ten For I Dfell to the ground and I couldn'a get up After Gdrinking just a quart of that Johnny Jump Up
DJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah CJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah GJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, DYeah yeah
DJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah (never never) CJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah (never never) GJohnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, DYeah yeah (For I fell to the ground and I couldn'a get up) (After drinking just a quart of that Johnny Jump Up)
