Aretha Franklin - Jumpin' Jack Flash

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane

And I howled at my ma in the driving rain

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!

But it's all right. I'm jumping jack flash

It's a gas! gas! gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag

I was schooled with a strap right across my back

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!

But it's all right, I'm jumping jack flash

It's a gas! gas! gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead

I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled

I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I was crowned with a spike right through my head

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!

But it's all right, I'm jumping jack flash

It's a gas! gas! gas!

Jumping jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping jack flash
