Jump Sturdy - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Some people say she used to dance with the fish

Others say she juggled fire in a dish

She raised her hand and caused a 'lectrical storm

Down by the Bayou Saint John

She was a treacherous lady

She never made me 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

Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson

On Melpomene and Erato Street

Queen Julia Jackson Zozo Labrique

Jump Sturdy died in defeat

She was a treacherous lady

She never met 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
