Born To Jump                                               © L. Dunn ‘93

                        Chorus             I was born to jump … I was born to jump

                                                Heard swing before I could talk

                                                Could Jump before I could walk

                                                I was born to jump

                        Verse               O-O-O … look at that boy go

                                                Rolled out of the cradle came up jumpin’ on the floor

                                                Hey-Hey-Hey … he was born to play

                                                Got that jump in his blood no savin’ him no way

                        Chorus             I was born to jump … I was born to jump

                                                Heard swing before I could talk

                                                Could jump before I could walk

                                                I was born to jump

                        Verse               Ou-Ou-Ou … got the boogie flu

                                                Caught it off the hi-fi boogie jumped right off the grove

                                                You can keep all that pop stuff just let me jump and jive

                        Chorus             I was raised on jump … I was raised on jump
