Bouncing on the Bed by Trapper
(Words and Music: Al Boyce 11/15/92)

        D       G         D     

With my mom and dad still fast asleep

  G                D

I kick my blankets in a heap

  G                  D

I yawn and shake the cobwebs

        A   

From my sleepy little head

 D      G     D

Upon my bed I take my feet

     G                 D

Then crouch and take a mighty leap

    G             D

And start another merry morning

A               D

Bouncing on the bed

CHORUS:
Then it's up and down and all around
It's deep into my bed I bound
The fluff and feathers flying
Falling fast around my head
And I whoop and shout a joyful sound
And jump and pound my mattress down
Then take the heights, there's nothing quite like
Bouncing on the Bed!

Then my father opens up the door
And in a tired voice he roars
"Please cease your lusty leaping
Like a kangaroo!", he says
He stumbles back to sleep some more
And when I hear him start to snore
I cannot help returning to my
Bouncing on the bed!

Well time has passed, the years have flown
I have a house to call my own
I met and wooed my darling
On a summer's day we wed.
And now if by chance I hear a groan
And squeaking sounds that are well known
I'll go and join my babies while they're
Bouncing on the bed!
