Aug 5 - Jump up Jump up and get down

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin, I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up, Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye, And then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it, Amps in the trunk y'all
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are Dunkin
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops
I came to get down, I came to get down
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around......
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump Jump Jump Jump.....

[House of Pain "Jump Around"]

Dad's friend Fred was in Houston while he was on tour with his band (Taking Back Sunday) and came over to visit. I showed off my jumping skills for him 'cause I hear those are useful for rock stars! Mom and Dad said I'm not allowed to learn how to stage dive yet though.
