Don’t Jump to Conclusions

Don't Jump to Conclusions ist ein Seriensong, der zuerst in einer Folge der dritten Staffel vom „Mickey Mouse Club“ gesungen wurde während der letzten Folge der Serie „Annette“. Geschrieben wurde das Lied von Tom Adair und Bob Baker, gesungen wurde es in der Serie von Roberta Shore in ihrer Rolle als Laura Rogan und auf den begleitendem Album „Annette“ von ihrer Schauspiel-Kollegin Annette Funicello.

In der Serie singt Laura Rogan über die Moral, die sie in der Serie gelernt hatte: Nur weil eine neue Mitschülerin zur selben Zeit verschwindet wie ihre teure Halskette, muss man nicht voreilige Schlüsse ziehen.

In Walt Disney's Magazine vom Oktober 1958 ist eine gekürzte Fassung des Songtextes abgedruckt, nur die erste Strophe („I had a careless friend“) und der Refrain. Alle drei Strophen sind im „Disney Fake Book“ abgedruckt.

Liedtext

Don't jump - to Conclusions

It always brings illusions

So be careful gals and guys take a tip and you'd be wise

If you want to minimize confusion

Don't jump - jump to conclusions

Now in the cities where I lived I had a careless friend

Who started crossing streets all happily

He thought that cause the light was green

No car would cross his path,

Oh, but that was where he's wrong unfortunatly

Because he jumped and got confusions

By jumping to conclusions

So be careful gals and guys take a tip and you'd be wise

If you want to minimize confusion

Don't jump - jump to conclusions

We had a country square dance and a dozen village boys

Asked my cousin Kate to take her there

But Kate she waited till to late to pick her date because

She thought she'd rate the local millionair

She jumped - Jumped to conclusions

Shattered her illusions

So be careful gals and guys take a tip and you'd be wise

If you want to minimize confusion

Don't jump - jump to conclusions

You heard about the race between the Tortoise and the Hare

And how the Hare sat musing in the sun

Well this is the exception to our rule cause Mr Hare

He should have kept on jumping til he won

He should have jumped to the conclusion

I don't get it - that's confussin

I'm just kidding gals and guys what you said before was wise

If you want to minimize confusion

Don't jump - jump to conclusions

When a problem comes to you take the time to think it through

And what ever else you do

Don't jump - jump, jump, jump to conclusions
