Get up and jump, get up and jump, get up, get up, get up and jump
Jump on up
Jump on down
Just jump a jump a jump a jump a jump around
Jump the day away
Jump all over town
‘Cos jumpin’ is OK in a jumpin’ kinda way, hey hey!

Jump a boy
Jump a girl
Jump a rope
Jump for joy
Just don’t stop jumpin’
Hillel be jumpin’ on that little baby frumpkin
Say what, You got a pumpkin in your pants?

When you’re standing or sitting still
Think about the frogs getting a thrill
Take a little lesson from the kangaroos
Don’t you know they’re jumpin’ fools, jump you!

Jump a nun
Jump a Jack
Jump for fun
Jump back
How’s about us jumpin’ in the sack?
And now, it’s time for a jump attack

Get up and jump

Jam Bob, Jim Bob, Slim Bob Boogie
To the tune of a slima Billy
Lookin’ like you’re mighty silly
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

Mister Mexican jumpin’ bean knows
His fun is squeaky clean
Christ, how’d ya think he got so clean?
Not from sittin’ on his goddamn spleen. Get up!

Oh, I be jumpin’ I be jumpin’ I be jumpin’ alone
I be jumpin’ for the phone
I be jumpin’ Misses Jones
I really wanna jump on Kinski’s bones

Get up and jump

Get up and jump

Jam Bob, Jim Bob, Slim Bob Boogie
To the tune of a slima Billy
Lookin’ like you’re mighty silly
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

    General Comment:This is from Anthony's book, "Scar Tissue"

    "We got togehter during the week and wrote a song "Get Up And Jump." Flea had been working for a long time on a bass part that was syncopated and interwined and complicated, combining picking and slapping in a strange beautifully funky way. I had to write lyrics, so I came up with some more that were chracter-based. I took the theme of jumping and wrote verses about different cartoony versions of jumping---jumping rope, Mexican jumping beans. But the most memorable line in that song was about Rona Frumpkin, a girl Hillel had a crush on.
    One of Hillel's more outstanding chracteristics was his big red nut sack, which he was very proud of and which he would put on display with hardly any urging. We used to joke about Hillel's package, because when he would put his dick and nut sack together, he'd form a pumpkin shape in his trousers, which would become a lot more pronounced when he was around Rona. So I wrote a verse that included "Hillel be jumping on that little baby Frumpkin/Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?""

    General Comment:actually, I think this is one of the few songs on their self-titled album that's actually mixed better than the demo version. I think hillel should have boosted the sound on his guitar for the demo version of the song.

    so to help his friend, anthony sang about it and right after the show hillel went off with her so you can easily say it helped (:
    btw, get up and jump was the red hot chili's 2nd song EVER to be made.
