JUMPIN' JACK FLASH
(Jagger/Richards)
Watch it!
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
and I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
but it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
but it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
it's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
but it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
but it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
it's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
but it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
but it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
it's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
