Boundin’
From my favorite short film Boundin’ (it is about a resilient lil' lamb)
This is a great lil' song- the first part doesn't read well so I'm pickin' up from where it picks up...
He would dance for his neighbors across the way. I must say that they found his dancin’ enhanctin’, for they’d also join in the play.
Then one day… there came a-boundin up the slope a great American jackalope. This sage of the sage, this rare hare of hope, caused him to pause and check out the lamb.“Hey kid, why the mope?”
“I used to be something all covered with fluff, and I’d dance in the sunlight and show off my stuff, then they hauled me away in a matter quite roughand sheared me and dropped me back here in the buff. And if that’s not enough now my friends all laugh at me cause they think I look ridiculous, funny, and pink.”
“Pink? Pink? Well, what’s wrong with pink? Seems you’ve got a pink kink in your think. Does it matter what color? Well, that gets a nope- be it pink, purple, or heliotrope.
Now sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down, when you find that you’re down well just look around: you still got a body, good legs and fine feet, get your head in the right place and hey, you’re complete!
“Now as for the dancin’, you can do more, you can reach great heights, in fact you can soar. You just get a leg up and ya slap it on down, and you’ll find you’re up in what’s called a bound.
Bound, and rebound.
Bound and you’re up right next to the sky and I think you can do it if you give it a try.
First get a leg up, slap it on down…”
So every year, along about May, they’d load him up and they’d haul him away, and they’d shave him and dump him all naked and bare. He learned to live with it, he didn’t care. He’d just bound, bound, bound, and rebound.
Now in this world of ups and downs…its so nice to know there are jackalopes around.
I found this online and the grammer isn't setup right and I'm sure there are other mistakes- if you don't like it well...Bound, Bound, Bound and Rebound- sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down.
