Jump For Joy

(album: Whisper In Your Ear - 1979)

Uh-huh, uh-huh, ooh-ooh...
Everybody jump for joy, come on
If you're ready to party

We came a long way just to get in here
And tell everybody all about this groove
And the sole purpose of this funky information
Is to get ya on the floor and move

So come on, y'all, and get up
(Get on up)
The time has come to get up
(Everybody get on up)
So come on, y'all, and get up
(Well)
The time has come to groove with you

So if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty
We're ready to party
We want you to jump
Hey, yeah, yeah, for joy
If you're ready to party
Wait a minute

All you people holding up the wall
We're gonna get you out on the floor
So all you party poopers, stop thinking and funk
You got to get up or get out the door

So come on, y'all, and get up
(Everybody get on up)
The time has come to get up
(Party, party, party, party)
So come on, y'all, and get up
(Yeah)
The time has come to groove with you

Now if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty
We're ready to party
We want you to jump
Hey, yeah, yeah, for joy
If you're ready to party

Now if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty
We're ready to party
Well, we want you to jump
Oh-whoa-whoa, for joy
If you're ready to party

Jump
Jump
Party, party, party, party

Jump for joy
If you're ready to party
Jump for joy
(Everybody jump for joy)
If you're ready to groove with me

If you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty
We're ready to party
We want you to jump
Whoa-whoa-whoa, for joy
If you're ready to party
Say it again

Now if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty

Ooh-ooh-ooh, for joy
Ah, if you're ready to party

Now if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty
We're ready to party
We want you to jump for joy
(Everybody let yourself go)
If you're ready to party

Everybody clap your hands
Everybody clap your hands, come on

Ain't that a groove
Ain't that a groove
Ain't that a groove

Now if you're my kind of people
Sing it loud and hearty

We want you to jump
Hey, yeah, yeah, for joy
Ah, if you're ready to party...
