Jump by Van Halen

I knew a couple of Van Halen songs back in the early 90's and a guy I worked with gave me a 120 minute cassette filled with their songs and I ended up becoming a bigger fan. Obviously, I already knew this song as it was one of their bigger hits but that cassette introduced me to a lot that I didn't know but you'll probably see here, eventually.

I get up, and nothing gets me down.

You got it tough. I've seen the toughest all around.

And I know, baby, just how you feel.

You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real

Oh can't you see me standing here,

I've got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen.

Oh can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!

Might as well jump.

Go ahead, jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.

Aaa-ohh Hey you! Who said that?

Baby how you been?

You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin.

Well can't you see me standing here,

I've got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen.

Oh can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.

Get it and jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.
