The Little Jumping Girls

JUMP–jump–jump–
 Jump away
From this town into
 The next, to-day.

Jump–jump–jump–
 Jump over the moon;
Jump all the morning,
 And all the noon.

Jump–jump–jump–
 Jump all night;
Won't our mothers
 Be in a fright?

Jump–jump–jump–
 And leave behind
Everything evil
 That we may find.

Jump–jump–jump–
 Over the sea;
What wonderful wonders
 We shall see.

Jump–jump–jump–
 Jump far away;
And all come home
 Some other day.
