Jumpin' Jack Flash
The Rolling Stones  
Album: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out

{instrumental Intro}
[Verse 1]
 Watch it!
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!

[Bridge]
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
 Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
 Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
