Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Ooowww!
I get up
And nothin' gets me down
You got it tough
I've seen the toughest around
And I know
Baby, just how you feel
You got to ro-oh-oh-ll with the punches
To get to what's real
Ah, can't ya see me standin' here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump (jump!)
Might as well jump
Go 'head an' jump (jump!)
Go 'head an' jump
Hello! Hey, you! Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You said you don't kn-oh-oh-ow
You won't know until you begin
So can't you see me standin' here?
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump (jump!)
Go 'head and jump
Might as well jump (jump!)
Go 'head an' jump
Jump!
Might as well jump (jump!)
Go 'head an' jump
Get it an' jump (jump!)
Go 'head and jump
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
Jump!
