Caitlin was a great "bed bouncer", as all young kids are, I'm sure!

BOUNCING ON THE BED
(Al Boyce© 11/15/92)

With my mom and dad still fast asleep
I kick my blankets in a heap
I yawn and shake the cobwebs from
My sleepy little head.
It's upon my bed I take my feet
Then crouch and take a mighty leap
And start another merry morning
Bouncing on the Bed!

CHORUS:
Then it's up and down and all around
Its 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,
"You 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 woo'ed my darlin'
On a summer 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!
