"Jump!" is a contagious hip-hop song that targets the comprehension and manipulation of regular verbs found in the English language. This song exposes the important conjugation of regular verbs in the third person singular (present tense). This catchy tune is great for ESL learners as verb tenses and endings can prove difficult at times. This is also an engaging song for primary English learners.
I come from Canada, you know. I come not from Jamaica
But they know me from all over, I'm the master motivator!
Comin' in, comin' in loud with the reggae sound
Let me tell you about a verb that will get your feet up off the ground
JUMP, JUMP - Sing it with me, y'all
JUMP, JUMP - Whether you're big or small
JUMP, JUMP - Get right up off your chair
JUMP, JUMP - Everyone, everywhere
Pick up the phone, you know, the one that is ringing
And take a lesson from the message I am bringing…
I JUMP, I JUMP - look how I AM JUMPING
YOU JUMP, YOU JUMP - Yes, YOU ARE JUMPING
HE JUMPS, HE JUMPS - HE IS JUMPING, now too
SHE JUMPS, SHE JUMPS - SHE IS JUMPING, now
Refrain
Tell me if you think that learning my way is fun…
As I take you to the plural meaning "more than one"
WE JUMP, WE JUMP - just look how WE ARE JUMPING....
