Red Hot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up, get up, get up and jump

Jump on up, jump on down
Just jump, a jump, a jump, a jump, a jump around
Jump the day away, jump all over town
'Causes jumpin' is okay in a jumpin' kinda way, hey
Jump a boy, jump a girl, jump a rope, jump for joy
Just don't stop jumpin', keep your heart muscle pumpin'
Hillel be jumpin' on that little baby frumpkin say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

When you're just standing or sitting still
Think about the frogs gettin' a thrill
Take a little lesson from the kangaroos
Don't you know they're jumpin' foos, jump you

Jump a nun, jump a Jack, jump for fun, jump back
How's about us jumpin' in the sack and now, it's time for a jump attack

Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump

Jam Bob, Jim Bob, slim Bob boogie
To the tune of slima Billy, lookin' like you're mighty silly
(Say what) you got a pumpkin in your pants (say what) you got a pumpkin in your pants?

Mister Mexican jumpin' bean knows his fun is sqeaky clean
Christ, how'd ya think that he got so clean?
Not from sittin' on his goddamn spleen, get up

Oh, I be jumpin', I be jumpin', I be jumpin' alone
I be jumpin' for the phone I be jumpin' Missus Jones
I really wanna jump on Kinski's bones

Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump

Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up and jump, get up and jump





Jam Bob, Jim Bob, slim Bob boogie to the tune of slima Billy, lookin' like you're mighty silly
(Say what) you got a pumpkin in your pants (say what) you got a pumpkin in your pants?
