Bounce

All things said to cure the sadness
only make you feel it more
all the crying and the weeping
only make your eyelids sore

all the men and all the women
lead each other a fine dance
all their games and all their scheming
is their betting on the chance

      that their love will make the world go 'round
      and if it don't it sure makes sure
      that their beds will bounce and bounce

all things said to stave off madness
often serve to bring it on
all the wishing and the hoping
only grate when she is gone

all the men and all the women
lead each other a fine dance
all their games and all their scheming
is their betting on the chance

     refr.


                and if your option's being drunk
                your weight just goes up ounce by ounce
                how's that for making your bed bounce ?
