Lyrics
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
I was born in a tumultuous and intense situation.
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
I expressed my distress to my mother amid heavy rainfall.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the challenging start, everything is fine now, and it's even enjoyable.
But it's all right. I'm jumpin jack flash,
I'm doing well; I'm a resilient and dynamic person.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Reiteration of the positive state, using "gas" as a metaphor for excitement or enjoyment.
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was brought up by an eccentric and unconventional woman.
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
I received a harsh education, possibly referring to discipline with a strap.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the difficult upbringing, things are now fine and enjoyable.
But it's all right, I'm jumpin jack flash,
Reasserting personal resilience and a positive attitude.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Restating the positive state using "gas" as a metaphor for excitement.
I was drowned I was washed up and left for dead.
Describing a near-death experience where the person was abandoned and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
The person recovered, noticing bleeding feet, possibly symbolizing pain and struggle.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Expressing discontent at meager sustenance, symbolized by a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
A repeated exclamation, perhaps indicating resilience or triumph over adversity.
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
Describing a moment of suffering, crowned with a spike through the head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
Despite the hardships, everything is fine now and enjoyable.
But it's all right, I'm jumpin jack flash,
Reiterating personal resilience and a positive outlook.
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
Restating the positive state using "gas" as a metaphor for excitement.
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
