Lyrics for Pixar’s Boundin’
I’ve been curious as to the lyrics for Pixar’s Boundin’ (featured with the movie The Incredibles) for a while now. After searching the web and finding nothing, I decided to watch it carefully and note the lyrics. No guarantee they’re accurate, but I thought I’d share what I have.
Here’s a story on how strange is life with its changes
And it happened not long ago.
On a high mountain plain, where the sagebrush arranges
A playground south of the snow
Lived a lamb with a coat of remarkable sheen,
It would glint in the sunlight all sparkly and clean,
Such a source of great pride
that it caused him to preen.
And he’d break out in high stepp’n dance.
He would dance for his neighbors across the way.
I must say that they found his dancin’ enhancin’,
For they’d also join in the play.Then one day…
Then a-boundin up the slope
Came a great American jackalope.
This sage of the sage, this rare hare of hope,
Caused 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 manner quite rough
And 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 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, 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…
So nice to know there are jackalopes around.

Hey I just want to say that this is very accurate, except for one little “bound” that was forgotten. It should go like this:
“And you’ll find you’re up in what’s called a bound.
Bound, *BOUND* and rebound.”
My son loves this little movie. He’s 9 months old and watches it over and over and over. I just leave it on repeat for him and he’s rivited! I almost have the whole thing memorized anyway, but I was looking for the words to help me along. Thank you for your efforts in doing what I thought I was going to have to do!

Thanks Jennifer, you’re right, I did miss a bounce! I just updated the lyrics to add the missing bounce. Thanks for catching that. :) I’m glad you found them useful!

Thanks for doing this. We just saw the DVD of The Incredibles and our family fell in love with the Boundin’ add on. Looked up the lyrics because we want to sing it. I suggest two changes:
1. I think it is …they hauled me away in a manner quite rough… (not ‘matter’).
2. It is ridiculous, not rediculous
October 26th, 2005 at 12:28 am
Thanks Don, I made the two changes you caught!

Thank you!!!!!
I loved Boundin’ when I first saw it on the Incredibles DVD, and had to keep playing it. Then I kept singing it (trying to without the words) and now I’m going to use it in a self-esteem course I’m running for disadvantaged women. So Thank You for the lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent. Thank you for doing this. My wife does a semi-play every Thanksgiving with the neices and nephews and this helped lots! Great message, fun story.

Thank you for these lyrics. I am using the movie in an English language course in Bangkok, Thailand. You have helped bring joy to countless Thai youth. Cheers.

Thanks for the lyrics, David. I’d managed to memorize the Lambs Lament, but it’s so fun to have the rest of the lyrics. Always makes me smile. I haven’t had a chance to check it on the DVD, but I suspect from the rhythm you’re missing an “a”. Doesn’t really matter, but if you’d like…
Does it matter what color? Well, that gets “a” nope.
My son wanted to know what heliotrope was. It’s an actual word. One of the meanings is Reddish-purple.

Thanks for putting together these lyrics. My son is 3 1/2, and he loves the short film. I always quote the “pink, pink, what’s wrong with pink?” to him, and he laughs. Now I will be able to quote more to him.
Thanks again! :o)

Hi David. Nice work with the lyrics. I found a mistake.
In: “And sheared me and dropped me back here in the buff.” It should be: “And sheared me and dumped me back here in the buff.”

David,
Big thanks for taking the time to prepare this web page w/ the lyrics to Boudnin. It’s fun to sing along, but didn’t quite have all the words figured out yet (specifically the line before heliotrope… makes sense now). My 2 year old son Athan loves boundin so much, he could watch it a hundred times and then still cry ‘Boundin! Boundin! Boundin! as I pry him from the screen.
Thanks,
Robert

David,
once again thanks a lot for doin’ that. I was loking for some info on Boundin’ and found lyrics. What a fortune!
October 10th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Very sweet!
October 11th, 2006 at 2:37 pm
First time I saw the Boundin’ short was from i-Tunes – my children love the clip and my daughter wanted to share a section from the lyrics with a friend that gets a little depressed ever so often.
So a real delight when we found you’d done the lyrics. So thank you. And thank Pixar. And Apple. Oh! and Steve Jobs…

I LOVE IT! :) ty

Very many thanks for the lyrics. How pleased I am to know this because I’ve looked for this since September 2006. Thank you. You know that it’s enjoyable to learn English through films especially short films.
