The Deadly Ebola Virus By Jeff Gutcheon Hip hop, gonna get me a cop Gonna play for a pop Gonna shop till I drop Don't, stop—Don't stop—DON'T STOP! All night long Fat back, think black, snack attack, Mac attack Sneak attack, Iraq attack Scat back, humpback Jump back, fall back, you better call back Singin' this song About the deadly Ebola virus Coming to take you, take you away The deadly Ebola virus is a-comin' And it's gwine to carry you home Hy-brid, low bid, have a kid smoke a lid, keep it hid You know what your daddy did Don't do what your daddy did All night long There's a red light on the far right Outtasight, and it's a sound bite Pure white, dynamite Wanna fight? Do you wanna fight? Do you wanna sing this song? About the deadly Ebola virus Coming to take you, take you away The deadly Ebola virus is a-comin' And it's gwine to carry you home The deadly Ebola virus Coming to take you, take you away The deadly Ebola virus is a-comin' And it's gwine, gwine to carry you home Gwine to carry you home

In 1977, Jim and Sumter Bruton (Stephen's brother) formed the Juke Jumpers and he returned to playing guitar. The Juke Jumpers released five LPs (Flying High and Amazing records). They played together for 17 years and appeared in Europe at the Belgium Rhythm and Blues Festival and the Utrecht Festival in 1989.
