Jump to the Music

by Henry Butler

on SIGGRAPH 2009 New Orleans Music Sampler (2009), Homeland (2004)

I wanna play my piano, play it all night long
Wanna play my piano, play it all night long
When I play this music it makes me feel so strong

When I get a bit of money, I'm feelin' mighty fine
Got my piano close to me, I play it all the time
When I play this music I can give sight to the blind

I wanna jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
Jump in the evening
Jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
I wanna jump to the music
Play these rhythm & blues

[Piano solo]

I don't eat breakfast, I don't eat no lunch
I don't eat breakfast, I don't eat no lunch
I just wanna play and feel that magic touch

I wanna play my piano, play it all night long
I wanna play my piano, play it all night long
When I play this music, God, I feel so strong

I wanna jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
Jump in the evening
Jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
I wanna jump to the music
Play these rhythm & blues

I wanna jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
Jump in the evening
Jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump, jump
I wanna play this music
Play these rhythm & blues

I wanna jump, jump
Jump in the morning
Jump, jump
Jump in the evening
Jump, jump, jump
I wanna jump
Jump, jump
I wanna jump to the rhythm
Play these rhythm & blues

Jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump
Jump, jump, jump

I'm gonna jump to the rhythm
Play these rhythm & blues
