Jumping Jack Flash (Top of the Pop) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

(Everybody seems to be ready, everybody ready?
We are sorry for the delay
The greatest rock and roll band in the world
The Rolling Stones!)

(Watch it!)
I was born in a crossfire 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

Yeah, sure and I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, sure
Yeah, I was crowned with a spike right through 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
(Oh yeah. Thank you kindly
I think I busted a button on my trousers
Hope they don′t fall down.
You don't want my trousers to fall down, now do ya?)
