Lyrics:

We’re bouncing and we’re bouncing
and we bounce and bounce and stop…… (Fast Bounce)

and Up and down and up and Down and then go side to side…… (Knees up and Down together, then one knee, other knee)

We’re bumping and we’re bouncing on this silly lap ride. (Fast bounce or alternate legs fast)

(repeat x3)
