Jump John jump
jolly jolly jump
jolly John jump 

Spring up high
bounce down low
jump John jump
how your joy does show 

Jump John jump
jolly jolly jump
jolly John jump 

Your smile beams high
your knees bend low
up down up
and round you go 

Jump John jump
jolly jolly jump
jolly John jump 

Sing song high
sing song low
jump John jump
yo ho ho
yo lo do
