Well, here comes Jumbo with a phone in his hand
Bet it’s been a while since you seen a real man
Grown up strong on the fat of the land of the free
Sure, I guess he got off to a hell of a start
With his grandpa’s money and his daddy’s heart
But you oughta know privileged is a pretty hard thing to be
You know?
Whoa! Here comes Jumbo with a knife and a tan
And an elephant’s tail for his Instagram
Grown up brave on the fat of the land of the free
See the twinkle in his eye like a torch in the dark
On a court-approved stroll through the city park
Whistling which of you purebreds gonna bark at my theme song goes a little something like:
Here comes Jumbo
American as gumbo
Skin white as new corn liquor hair black as molasses rum, though
He ain’t dumb, no
You elitist bums, go
Get yourselves off of Capitol Hill
‘Cause we’ve just about had our fill
Of y’all playing Columbo
When anyone can tell
That good old Jumbo
Was only to trying to help
Only trying to help
Oh, help us out with one now Jumbo
Here comes Jumbo
American as gumbo
Washed in the blood of the little man singing fee fi fo fum, bro
‘Til his kingdom comes so
You elitist bums can go
Fuck yourselves off of Capitol Hill
‘Cause we’ve just about had our fill
Of wondering what is and isn’t rigged
When there’s all these unadopted kids
Ready to swim across the Bering Sea
To feast on the fat of the land of the free
They’re twiddling their thumbs though
While y’all play Columbo
With poor old Jumbo
The lyrics JUMBO of PUNCH BROTHERS is also present in the album All ashore (2018)
I Punch Brothers sono un gruppo musicale di musica bluegrass proveniente da Brooklyn, New York. Composto da Chris Thile (mandolino), Gabe Witcher (violino), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Eldridge (chitarra) e Paul Kowert (contrabbasso), il quintetto è noto per il suo sound originale che fonde elementi di bluegrass tradizionale con influenze jazz, classica e progressive. Fondato nel 2006 da Thile, ex membro del gruppo Nickel Creek, i Punch Brothers hanno rapidamente guadagnato fama per le loro performance virtuosistiche e la complessità musicale. Il loro stile è spesso definito come "progressive bluegrass" o "da camera classico-country", con arrangiamenti intricati e improvvisazioni elaborate. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Rye Whiskey", "Familiarity" e "Julep", mentre tra gli album di maggior successo si annovera "The Phosphorescent Blues" (2012). I Punch Brothers hanno collaborato con artisti come Brad Paisley, Edgar Meyer e Yo-Yo Ma, consolidando la loro posizione come una delle band più innovative del panorama musicale contemporaneo.
