Brown Derby Jump Lyrics

(Jump!)
(Jump jump jump!)

(Jump!)
(Jump jump jump!)

She was a woman of mystery
And what she wanted I could not see
A three-year trip on the dragon
'Til the clinic had to get me clean

We were a party and always drunk
Before I knew it, the wreck had sunk
Shake, trip, shimmy and you do the bump
Everybody's swingin' to the Brown Derby Jump

(Jump!)
(Jump jump jump!)

The beautiful life is always damned
You gotta fall into the quicksand
A deadly kiss from a temptress can
Serve to make a truly wayward man

She's not a talker, her teeth are fixed
But she's a looker that lives for kicks
A nightmare straight from an Otto Dix
Everybody's swingin' with the Brown Derby chicks

A-do the jump (jump!)
A-do the jump (jump!)
Everybody do the jump (jump!)
A-do the jump (jump!)
A-do the jump (jump!)

I've come a long way and now I'm me
The darkest river that meets the sea
And all those lights on the harbor seem
To be sparklin' in bittersweet

I'm a survivor my heart is tough
I'm hangin' in there and that's enough
Shake, trip, shimmy and we'd do the bump
Everybody's swingin' to the
Brown Derby Jump

(Jump!)
(Jump jump jump!)

A-do the jump (jump!)
A-do the jump (jump!)
A-do the jump (jump!)
Everybody do the jump

The Cherry Poppin' Daddies are an American band formed in Eugene, Oregon, in 1989. Since 1990, they have released 9 albums, with Please Return The Evening released on 29th July 2014.

The Daddies' music is primarily a mix of swing, ska and rock, characterized by a prominent horn section and sardonic, often morbid, lyricism. While the band's earliest albums were rooted predominantly in punk rock and funk, their subsequent studio albums have since incorporated influences from many diverse genres of popular music and Americana into their sound, including rockabilly, glam rock, psychedelia, rhythm and blues, country, soul and world music.
