Some people say she used to dance with the fish
Others say she juggled fire in a dish
She raised her hand and caused an electrical storm
Down by the Bayou St. John
She was a treacherous lady
She never meant me much harm
One day she ducked past the station house
Turned on the fire alarm
Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson
Down on Melba meeting near Rattle Street
Queen Julia Jackson dropped a zozola brick
Jump Sturdy died in defeat
She was a treacherous lady
She never meant much harm
One day she ducked past the station house
Turned on the fire alarm
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
