Jumpin’ at the Golden Gate     Larry Dunn ‘01

 

Verse

Have you heard about that cat in San Francisco

Who decided to jump the gun

From high upon the Golden Gate he cashed it in

Before his race was run

He waved goodbye to Alcatraz

And went down with setting sun

 

Chorus

Everybody sing jump…from way up high

Now jump…people passing by

Said jump…kiss it all goodbye

And jump from the city side

He lost the whole ballgame, struck out at home plate

But he sure could jump at the Golden Gate

 

Verse

Stuck in traffic, runnin’ late

Wonderin’ why all these cars won’t move

I tuned in the radio, the DJ said

You’d better find an alternate route

Got this jumper on the rail at the Golden Gate

Jammin’ up your afternoon commute

 

Chorus

 

Verse

Big city, bright lights, on the make day and night

Took all his friends down for a ride

Then when he got busted, couldn’t be trusted

Didn’t have a prayer on the inside

With a future in doubt, said I’d better check out

See you on the other side

 

Chorus
