Jumpin' Jack Flash (From "Jumping Jack Flash") Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Yeah, ah one, two, three, four

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane, well
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain, whoa, yeah
But it′s all right now, (hey) in fact, it's a gas!
I said it′s all right. I'm jumpin' Jack flash
It′s a gas! Gas! Gas!
Oh-yeah
Ooh, give it to me

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back, oh yes I was
But it′s all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
I said 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, oh, yes, sure
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, yes I did
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it′s all, it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
I said it′s all right, I′m jumpin' Jack flash
It′s a gas! Yes it is

Jumping Jack flash (jump), it's a gas (jump, jump)
Jumping Jack flash (jump), it′s a gas (jump, jump)
Jumping Jack flash (jump), it's a gas (you can jump)
Jumping Jack flash, it′s a gas (aye, aye, aye, aye)
Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas
Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas (my achievement)
Jumping Jack flash, it′s a gas (it′s a-)

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas (oh yes, oh)
Jumping Jack flash (I was screaming), it′s a gas (scratch my back)
Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas (oh, yeah)
Jumping Jack flash, it′s a gas (I found out, ah what's the thing)
Jumping Jack flash, it′s a gas (and I, I, I, I, I)
Jumping Jack flash, eh, eh, eh (I found what I spot running)
Ooh, ahh, eh, eeh-eeh
Eeh-aah-eeh-aah, eh-eeh
Eeeh-aah-eeh
