On May 25, 1968, the Rolling Stones released the song Jumpin' Jack Flash in the U.K. In 1986, the song was used in the American spy comedy film with the same title as the song starring Whoopi Goldberg.

My favorite part of the movie is when Terry Doolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) tries to interpret the lyrics for the song; it's a scream! She finally says, "Mick, speak English!"        


Jumpin' Jack Flash lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]
Watch it!

[Verse 1]
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain

[Chorus]
But it's all right now
In fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas!

[Verse 2]
I was raised by a tooth-less, bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right 'cross my back

[Chorus]
But it's all right now
In fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas! (Ooh!)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I was drowned, I was washed up 'n left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled, yeah, yeah
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right through my head, my, my, yeah

[Chorus]
But it's all right now
In fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas

[Outro]
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas
