Low down little miss treater
Old man slick mister twister
They jump to the left, they move to the right
They do the jump steady 'til late midnight

I said hey jump city, now come my way, child (hey jump city)
I said hey jump city, now come my way, ya'll (hey jump city)
I said hey jump city, now get out my way, child (hey jump city)
Goin' Louisiana down to New Orleans, child (hey jump city)

Hey now

Little brother Henry and sister Sue
Old mister Johnson, big Mary too
They move to the back of the second line
They jump and shake like they're losin' their mind

I said hey jump city, I going your way now (hey jump city)
Down New Orleans on Mardi Gras day, child (hey jump city)
Down Louisiana, down to New Orleans, ya'll (hey jump city)
Said I'm goin' New Orleans on Mardi Gras day, child (hey jump city)

Hey now

There was an old lady named Wooster
She comes to the party with a rooster
Old man Johnson swore if I catch that bird
If I don't I'm gonna get you first

Said I'm goin' jump city on Mardi Gras day, ya'll (hey jump city)
Said I'm goin' jump city down New Orleans, child (hey jump city)
Yeah I'm goin' jump city, I'm comin' your way now, ya'll (hey jump city)
Said I'm heading New Orleans on Mardi Gras day (hey jump city)

Hey jump city, now come my way, child (hey jump city)
Yeah I'm goin' jump city, now get out my way, child (hey jump city)
Down Louisiana, down New Orleans, ya'll (hey jump city)
You all headin' New Orleans on Mardi Gras day, ya'll (hey jump city)
I said hey jump city, I'm comin' your way, Lord (hey jump city)
