Lyrics
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
I was born in a chaotic and intense situation.
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain
I expressed my distress to my mother amid heavy rainfall.
And it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Everything is fine now; it's even enjoyable!
And it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
I am Jumpin' Jack Flash, and I'm okay.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reiterating that it's a great experience, using "gas" as a metaphor for enjoyment.
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was brought up by an old, bearded woman without teeth.
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
I received education with physical punishment, a strap across my back.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the challenges, everything is fine now; it's enjoyable.
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
I am Jumpin' Jack Flash, and I'm okay.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reiterating that it's a great experience, using "gas" as a metaphor for enjoyment.
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I went through a difficult situation, almost died, and was abandoned.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I managed to stand up, and I saw my feet were bleeding.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Expressing dissatisfaction with meager resources, represented by crumbs of bread.
I was drowned, with a spike right thru my head
I survived a harrowing experience with an injury to my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the hardships, everything is fine now; it's enjoyable.
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
I am Jumpin' Jack Flash, and I'm okay.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reiterating that it's a great experience, using "gas" as a metaphor for enjoyment.
Jumpin' Jack Flash is a gas!
Summarizing that Jumpin' Jack Flash is a fantastic experience.
