jumping jack flash

Aretha Franklin

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, it?s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it?s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it?s a gas
Jumping jack flash, it?s a gas
Jumping jack flash
