Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You jump, jump here
You jump, jump there
You jump, jump, jump everywhere

And you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy
But you really wanna blow your top

You shake, shake here
You shake, shake there
You shake, shake, shake everywhere

And you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy
But you really wanna blow your top

You wiggle, wiggle here
You wiggle, you wiggle there
You wiggle, wiggle, wiggle everywhere

And you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy

But you really wanna blow your top
Oh you do, go
