Jump Up

Jump Up

Music by Monty Norman
Performed by Byron Lee & The Dragonaires

All the people down Kingston town,
You know all the people go Jump Up!

Waving arms about, weaving in and out,
It’s so easy to Jump Up!

Take a pretty girl, make her whirl,
And then both begin again Jump Up!

Hold her very tight, then for all the night,
You’ll be doing the Jump Up!

Together now! Jump Up! Jump Up!
Jamaica! Jump Up! Jump Up!
Jamaica! Jump Up music!
Make you never want to stop! Jump Up!

Jump up! Jump up!
Jamaica! Jump Up! Jump Up!
Jamaica! Jump Up music!
Make you never want to stop! Jump Up!

Listen to the band, take her hand,
And say, Here we go again! Jump Up!

Like a ball of fire, you will never tire,
When you’re doing the Jump Up!

All the people down Kingston town, you know,
All the people go Jump Up!

You’ll be lost to it,
Once you’ve tried a bit,
Never give up the Jump Up!

Jump up! Jump up!
Jamaica! Jump Up! Jump Up!
Jamaica! Jump Up music!
Make you never want to stop! Jump Up!

Jump up! Jump up!
Jamaica! Jump Up! Jump Up!
Jamaica! Jump Up music!
Make you never want to stop! Jump Up!
