Ya jumpin’ around, ya jumpin’ loud
Ya jumpin’ so high ya head’s in the clouds
Bouncin’ big and small, and climbin’ dem walls
And slippin’ down slides laughin’ tumblin’ falls

“He’s been, he’s been” the kids they scream
And thunder down the stairs
The piles of gifts beneath the tree are
Answered toyish prayers.

Greedy Gem sat done to lunch
His mouth wide open ready to munch.
He wasn’t fussed about what he ate
He thought everything simply tasted great.
