The Bouncing Baby Boy

There was a bouncing baby boy
who bounced just like a rubber toy;
he bounced wherever he did go,
bounced up and down and to and fro.

 

He bounced so much that he could not
stop bouncing right out of his cot
and then, clutching his teddy bear,
he would go bouncing down the stairs.

 

Oh what a time his mother had.
She said, "This bouncing baby's bad.
If he keeps bouncing like a ball
I won't get any sleep at all".

 

But then, that boy, a man became
and bouncing brought him wealth and fame
for people would pay just so see
him bouncing up and down with glee.

 

He even learned to bounce so high
that he could bounce up to the sky.
He'd bounce up to the moon and then
he'd bounce back down to Earth again.

 

Then, bouncing round about the world,
he bumped into a rubber girl;
a rubber girl who could expand
and stretch out like a rubber band.

 

And then he and the girl got wed
and he became a dad instead
for then his wife gave birth, with joy,
unto a bouncing girl and boy.
