"Jump For Joy" lyrics

"Jump For Joy"

I said, come on everybody
Let's have a ball
It makes no difference if you're
Big or small
Pull off your shoes and
Leave 'em at the door
If you ain't too drunk
You can get 'em when you go

I said, come on, y'all
Gonna jump for joy tonight
We gonna take up the rugs and
Put out all the lights

You know Barefoot Sally told
Bald-headed Joe
I would have socked it to you but it's
Time to go
One drink of liquor or a
Little shot of wine
A whole lot of loving
Feel real fine

I said, come on, y'all
Gonna jump for joy tonight
We gonna take up the rugs and
Put out all the lights

We gonna boogie in the kitchen and
Boogie down the hall
Boogie in the closet and
Beside the wall

Ain't gonna stop
Until the clock strikes four
We'll be doing the rubbie dubbie
And cryin' for more

I said, come on, y'all
Gonna jump for joy tonight
We gonna take up the rugs and
Put out all the lights

We gonna boogie in the kitchen
Boogie down the hall
Boogie in the closet
Upside the wall

Ain't gonna stop
Until the clock strike four
We'll be doing the rubbie dubbie
And crying for more

I said, come on, y'all
Gonna jump for joy tonight
We gonna take up the rugs and
Put out all the lights

We gonna jump
We gonna jump
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Oh, baby
Come on, baby
Come on, y'all
Come on, y'all
And let's jump
Before we go
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
