Wild in the Streets

Jump Jump

Music and Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys

 From the album Escape Artist (1982)

 

Here comes Victor Hugo

He's with me wherever I go

I'm walking Paris streets

Talking cobblestones

Feeling like I'm at home

 

And here comes Les Miserables

It's one of my favorite novels

But it's so serious

Hope I'm not too rude

But I'm not in the mood

 

Jump jump

Let's make the great escape

All due respect to art for art's sake

Jump jump

We're gonna have some fun

For you and me and everyone

 

Jump jump

To the rock 'n' roll Rimbauds

Jump jump

To the poets and verse

Jump jump

To the Venus de Milo

Jump jump

To the ones who came first

 

Here comes the ghost of V. Van Gogh

He follows me wherever I go

We pass Notre Dame

So much history

So much bigger than me

 

And here comes another museum

They pass so fast we hardly can see 'em

There goes a Claude Monet

and a Paul Cezanne

And I always been a fan

 

Jump jump

Let's make the great escape

All due respect to art for art's sake

Jump jump

We're gonna have some fun

For you and me and everyone

 

Jump jump

To the rock 'n' roll Rimbauds

Jump jump

To the poets and verse

Jump jump

To the Venus de Milo

Jump jump

To the ones who came first
