Jump, Little Children - Johnny Jump Up lyrics

[Verse 1] From the clan of MacNab in Ameri-kay My name is Matt, I'm the cat How are y'all today? 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 glue Chris and Jay are on the mike and they're about to wail Come all you lads and la**ies And listen to this tale [Verse 2] A little story that happened to me One day as I was walking down the Yule By The Sea The sun was very bright, the day was very warm "Damn" I said "A guinness wouldn't do me any harm" So I slid into the bar and I called for a stout "I'm sorry" said the barman "The beer is sold out Take the whiskey that's been ten years in the wood." "No thanks, I'll try the cider cause I hear that its good." [Pre Chorus] But never, never, and never again If I live to one hundred, or one hundred and ten For I fell to the ground and I couldn'a get up After drinking just a quart of that Johnny Jump Up [Chorus] Johnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah Johnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah Johnny Jump Up, Johnny Jump Up, Yeah yeah [Verse 3] After drinking quite a few of those I went into the yard Where I bumped into big Goofy, the crispy nasty guard "Come here to me boy, don't you know I am the law?" I upped with me fist, I shattered his jaw (Ooooh!) He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up And I ran, what a plan, before the s**er got up I knew that if he got me I'd be in the lock up But it wasn't me that hit him, it was the Johnny Jump Up [Verse 4] Well the next thing I met down at Yule By The Sea Was a cripple on crutches and he says to me: "Young man, if you can, please listen for a minute I got me a gla**, there's nothing left in it" "I'm afraid of me life that I'll be hit by a car Won't you help me cross the road to the bar?" After drinking just a quart of that cider so sweet He threw down his crutches, he danced in the street [Pre Chorus] [Chorus] [Verse 5] 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 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" [Verse 6] A man died in the yule by the name of MacNab They washed him and laid him outside on the slab And Dr. O'Connor, his measurements to take His wife took him home to a bloody fine wake About 12 O'clock and the beer it was high The corpse sat up and it said with a sigh "I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up Til I take them a quart of that Johnny Jump Up" [Pre Chorus] [Chorus] [Chorus]
