Jump the Broom

Jump the broom (jump, jump)
The whole yard come to see
Jump the broom (jump, jump)
Just you and me

White dress shining in the churchyard sun
Auntie crying 'fore the thing even done
Uncle tuning up the old guitar
Cousins pull up in a borrowed car
Grandma in the front with her Sunday hat
Been praying for this day, imagine that
The pastor smiling and the ring come out
And the whole congregation start to shout

Take my hand, girl, don't you let it go
We been dreaming of this since a long time ago
Through the good and the lean and the whole way round
Now we jumping the broom on the holy ground

Jump the broom, jump the broom
(jump, jump)
Rice in your hair, in a brand new room
(jump, jump)
Dance till the moon come out
Jump the broom, that's what love about
(jump, jump)

Jump, jump (jump the broom)
Jump, jump (dance in the room)
Rice in the air and the bells go loud
Jump the broom, make your mama proud

Down in the hall with the curry goat sweet
Rice on the table and the whole street eat
Grandpa on the floor with his two left feet
Kids underneath the table having fun
Best man forget the speech he'd begun
Cake on the table and the party spun
Bride and groom in the middle of the ring
And the whole reception start to sing
No fancy money and no fancy show
Just a mountain of love and a stereo

Take my hand, girl, don't you let it go
We been dreaming of this since a long time ago
Through the good and the lean and the whole way round
Now we jumping the broom on the holy ground

Jump the broom, jump the broom
(jump, jump)
Rice in your hair, in a brand new room
(jump, jump)
Dance till the moon come out
Jump the broom, that's what love about
(jump, jump)

Jump, jump (jump the broom)
Jump, jump (dance in the room)
Rice in the air and the bells go loud
Jump the broom, make your mama proud

Forget about the flowers, forget about the cost
It's the two of you standing where two roads cross
Every soul in the building know it's true
Grandma cry and the old friends too
Ring on the finger and the vow come through
When you jump the broom the whole world jump with you

Take her hand and hold it tight
Jump the broom into the light
Ring to the finger and the vow so bright
Jump the broom, hold on tight
Tie the knot and kiss the bride
Jump the broom, side by side

Jump the broom, jump the broom
(jump, jump)
Rice in your hair, in a brand new room
(jump, jump)
Dance till the moon come out
Jump the broom, that's what love about
(Jump, jump, dance in the room)
Jump the broom, jump the broom
Jump the broom, jump the broom

Jump the broom (jump, jump)
The whole yard come to see
Jump the broom (jump, jump)
Just you and me
