Jumping Jack Flash, lyric by Rolling Stones, The

from the songs album Flashpoint

(jagger/richards)


I was born in a cross-fire 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.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru 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!

Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash
