Don’t Jump Salty Lyrics by Danny Kortchmar

Kootch

[Intro, spoken]
Don't get so malicious
Don't get so far out
Stop waving your arms in the air, sit down for a minute
Now let me explain something to you
[Verse 1]
The path is narrow, but the street is wide
Don't get lost, now
Double cross, now
Ain't cross over to the other side
Don't get scared, now
Be prepared, now
[Pre-Chorus]
You never know what you might find
Keep this one thing deep inside your mind
[Chorus]
Mama, don't you jump salty
Mama, don't you jump salty
Mama, don't you jump salty
Don't jump on me, it just can't be
I hate it when you jump on me
[Verse 2]
You know, can't see the forest for the trees
Don't be uptight, now
Stay outta sight, now
Can't stop the birds from messin' with the bees, oh baby
Don't you try, now
They'll get by, now
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as a mountain gets high
You'll do much bеtter when it's do or die
[Chorus]
Mama, don't you jump salty, don't jump salty, babе
Mama, don't you jump salty
Mama, don't you jump salty
Don't jump on me, it just can't be, be, be, be
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure as a mountain, sure as a mountain gets high
You'll do much better when it's do or die
But whatever you do
[Chorus]
Mama, don't you jump salty, salty, salt
Mama, don't you jump salty (don't jump salty)
Mama, don't you jump salty
Don't jump on me, it just can't be
Now we break it down
