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
Oh-Oh-Oh … 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
Verse
Ou-Ou-Ou … got the boogie flu
Caught it off the hi-fi boogie jumped right off the groove
My-My-My … that’s alright
You can keep all that pop stuff just let me jump and jive
Chorus
I was raised on jump … I was raised on jump
Heard big band jump everyday
On a hi-fi that the folks would play
I was raised on jump
Solos
Verse
My-My-My … Flip Flop Fly
Hear that Kansas City jump say don’t care if I die
Hey-Hey-Hey … still sounds good today
Doesn’t get no better man, the jump that Basie played
Chorus
I was born to jump … I was born to jump
Heard big band jump everyday
On a hi-fi that the folks would play
I was born to jump
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
