About The Song

“Baby Jump” is a popular song by Mungo Jerry, released as a single in 1971. Written by Ray Dorset, the lead vocalist and guitarist of Mungo Jerry, it became the band’s second No. 1 single in the UK. Originally a concert favorite under a different title, Dorset rewrote the lyrics when it was chosen as the follow-up to their hit “In the Summertime”. The song features a distinctive groove that captivated audiences, with elements of rock ‘n roll, boogie piano, and a heavier sound compared to their previous work. “Baby Jump” showcases Mungo Jerry’s versatility, departing from their jug-cum-skiffle style and embracing a more energetic rock vibe. The song is included in the album “Baby Jump: The Definitive Collection,” which was released in 2005 and showcases Mungo Jerry’s work.

Lyrics

She wears those micromini dresses
Hair hanging down her back

She wears those see through sweaters
She likes to wear her stocking black
And if I see her tonight

You can bet your life I’ll attack.

She got beautiful teeth

A toothpaste adman’s dream.
She got a beautiful form
The best I’ve ever seen.
I’ gonna get her tonight

I don’t care where she been.

Well
I said baby
baby

Baby what you doin’ to me.
I said baby
baby

Baby what you doin’ to me.
I said baby
baby

Baby jump into my dream.

I dream that she was Lady Chatterley’n
I was the game keeper.
I dream that I was Da Vinci and
She was the Mona Lisa.
I dream that I was Humbert and
She was Lolita.

I said baby
baby

baby what you doin’ to me.
I said baby
baby

baby what you doin to me.
I said baby
baby

Baby jump into my dream.
