Jumpin Jack
Jumpin Jack, or A Little Kid Full of Zip, or Lights Out
Benjamin Franklin. He invented electricity. I'd say it's an electronics boy. He's having a heck of a good time. He's turning the lights out. He hasn't seen the seedy time of life yet. He's charged up!
My son was 2 years old when he stuck a key in an electric socket and burned his finger. You're making way too much money for this. He's full of zip and vinegar. Turning out the lights maybe. Maybe turning them on and keeping them on. Holding a light bulb-they're lit. He's jumping up and down to create static electricity said Merv. That'll knock your socks off.
Benjamin Franklin is dead. He's standing on one foot in a rocking chair-jumping on it. Chair is in the living room-on the rug-that's where the static electricity comes from-knock your socks off. He's at his grandmother's. Grandma is about ready to have his hide--jumpin on the furniture. Grandma won't care. This grandma would, said Lucille. Grandma lives in Anita, Iowa. Right now it wouldn't be very neat. Anyone else home? Don't see anyone. He's showing off for his grandmother. The cat is home--his name is Tom.
Static electricity keeps the lights lit. Electricity will make my hair stand up. After this he'll fall down. Grandma will pick him up and baby him. Then he'll get a cookie or something. Lucille said he'll get a spanking. Grandmas don't spank babies. They'll let you do anything you want. He'll slip off that chair. He's gonna shock the cat Tom. "He got me!" says Tom the cat. He might be all tired out from the playing and take a nap. Daddy came home and took him for ice cream. Gloria wonders how he got down off the chair without breaking the light bulbs. She'll drop the bulb off the chair and it'll break.
Just end it! Mama came home and said, "Get down before you get hurt!"
