Jump for Joy (Take 1) Songtext

von Duke Ellington & His Famous Orchestra

Fare thee well land of cotton
Cotton lisle is out of style
Honey child
Jump for Joy

Don't you grieve little Eve
All the hounds I do believe
Have been killed
Ain't 'cha thrilled?
Jump for Joy

Have you seen pastures groovy?
Green pastures was just a Technicolor movie
When you stomp up to heaven and you meet old Saint Pete
Tell that boy
"Jump for joy"

Step right in
Give Pete some skin and
Jump for Joy
