Jumbo Mumbo
Have you - as a guy - ever been chastised by your woman for having your head up you *ss when you should be relishing the moment (with her)? Of course, you have! This is that story plus an opportunity to just use a silly phrase - "Jumbo Mumbo" which means... you'll see. As the third song on "This is Love", it keeps the pace moving. It is a fun song.

Instrumental Verse
G Em
Walking with my girl the other day
G7 C
Telling her things I had to say
C D
She smiled at me and walked away
D7 G
“Save that crap for another day”
We were out in the woods somewhere
Trying to get a little fresh air
Hand in hand we walked along
She was humming some sort of song
But I kept talking on and on
'Cause that is just the way I am
Surely this was important stuff
Then she said, “I’ve had enough.”
Em G
She turned her face up to the sky
D D
Fingers spread and arms held high
Em G
“Can you feel the wind on your face
D D7
This is such a special place”
I was taken back a bit
These were things she should admit
Were important and not so funny
Thoughts I had about our money
She turned to me and looked real stern
Her mood had taken a sudden turn
I had to crumble when she said,
That is just Jumbo Mumbo”
Yakety yak I don’t care
Blah, blah, blah fills the air
Maybe that matters to you
But we have better things to do
There might be a time and place
For that stuff coming out of your face
But this sunny day ain’t it
‘Cause right now, I don’t give a shit
A sly smile crossed her lips
She wiggled her perfect hips
Said, “Why don’t we go tumble
And I’ll show you Jumbo Mumbo”
