Lyrics for Pixar’s Boundin’
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.

• The Australian National Anthem is "Advance Australia Fair" words and music composed by Peter Dodds McCormick in 1878 but only proclaimed Australia's National Anthem by the Governor - General on 19th April 1984.
"Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea: Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare, In history's page let every stage Advance Australia fair, In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross, We'll toil with hearts and hands, To make this Commonwealth of ours Renowned of all the lands, For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia fair."
Below are the comments made by an Australian
'Most Australians hum along because we don't know the words. I mean, what little child at school knows what "girt" means? We all know the first verse, but most Aussies don't know that a second verse exists (ie, the one that starts with "beneath our radiant....).
It took almost 100 years for the song Advance Australia Fair to become the official national anthem of Australia.
In order for the song to become the anthem, it had to face a public vote between the Royal anthem "God Save the Queen" and the "unofficial anthem" Waltzing Matilda.
Waltzing Matilda means more to me, but on a pulic level who wants to be associated with a thieving sheep stealer.'
There are no "official" lyrics to "Waltzing Matilda", and slight variations can be found in different sources. This version incorporates the famous "You'll never catch me alive said he" variation introduced by the Billy Tea company. Paterson's original lyrics referred directly to 'drowning', which the tea company felt was too negative. The original manuscript of Waltzing Matilda, transcribed by Christina Macpherson c.1895.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolabah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers, one, two, three, "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?" "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?", "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong, "You'll never take me alive", said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me" And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me." "Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
Macavity's a mystery cat, he's called the hidden paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed
He sways his head from side to side with movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted or the jewel case is rifled Or when the milk is missing or another peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi and one or two to spare What ever time the deed took place Macavity wasn't there!
And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations: the Napoleon of crime!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity
Macavity, Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there! Macavity's not there!
Macavity returns, disguised as Old Deuteronomy, but he is revealed, and he battles with Munkustrap and the other male cats. Tired and almost defeated, Macavity rigs an electrical explosion that puts out all the lights, leaving the Jellicles in the dark.
Мо́лли Мало́ун (англ. Molly Malone, также известная как Cockles and Mussels, «Моллюски и мидии», и In Dublin’s fair city) — популярная ирландская песня, ставшая одним из неофициальных символов Ирландии. В ней говорится о красивой молодой девушке, торговавшей на улицах Дублина, и умершей молодой, в лихорадке.
Песня используется фанатами ряда футбольных и регбийных команд, звучит в фильме «Заводной апельсин».
английский текст
In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, As she wheeled her wheel-barrow, through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
She was a fishmonger, and sure 'twas no wonder, For so were her father and mother before, And they each wheeled their barrow, through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(припев)
She died of a fever, And no one could save her, And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone. Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(припев)
ирландский текст
I mBaile Átha Cliath ní fhaca mé riamh, Aon chailín níos sciamhaí ná Mol Ní Mhaoileoin, Ag stiúradh a barra, gach áit ins an chathair, Le ruacain is sliogáin, is iad go breá beo!
Припев: Is iad go breá beo, is iad go breá beo, Le ruacain is sliogáin, is iad go breá beo.
Ba mhangaire éisc í, an cheird di ab éascaí, Ós amhlaidh dá muintir ó chianta fadó, Ag stiúradh a mbarra, gach áit ins an chathair, Le ruacain is sliogáin, is iad go breá beo!
(припев)
Ach mo chreach is mo dhiachair, fuair Mol bhocht an fiabhras, Agus b'in i an chríoch a bhí le Mol Ní Mhaoileoin, Ach tá taibhse sa chathair, ag stiúradh a barra, Le ruacain is sliogáin, is iad go breá beo!
(припев)
русский текст
Я в Дублине честном, где дамы прелестны Впервые увидел красотку Малоун Тележку катала повсюду, кричала: «Ракушки и мидии, свежие, о!»
Припев: «Свежайшие, о, свежайшие, о, Ракушки и мидии свежие, о.»
Торговала ракушкой её мать-старушка И батюшка Молли, покойный Малоун Тележку таскали повсюду, кричали: «Ракушки и мидии свежие, о!»
(припев)
Но злая горячка спалила гордячку Ничто не спасло нашу Молли Малоун Её привиденье я видел на Бэйле: «Ракушки и мидии, свежие, о!»

Friends Never Say Goodbye (оригинал Elton John) Друзья не говорят "Прощай!"
[Elton John:] There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode
Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning the great divide Ask no questions, take no side
Who's to say who's right or wrong? Whose course is braver run? Still we are, have always been Will ever be as one
What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say
[Backstreet Boys:] ...say goodbye...
[Elton John:] Never say goodbye [4x]
[Backstreet Boys:] Never say goodbye [4x]
Friends Never Say Goodbye
There isn't much I haven't shared With you along the road And through it all there'd always be Tomorrow's episode Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning the great divide Ask no questions, take no side Who's to say who's right or wrong Whose course is braver run Still we are, have always been Will ever be as one
What is done has been done for the best Though the mist in my eyes might suggest Just a little confusion about what I'll lose But if I started over I know I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and tought me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye
Suddenly that isn't true There's another avenue Beckoning, the great divide I would choose The same joy the same sadness each step of the way That fought me and taught me that friends never say Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye Never say goodbye
In my life I've felt so self assured But suddenly it's all changed She's a cloud That hangs above my world And I find myself wond'ring in the rain And now I can't go on
'cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love
I need a guiding light To shine on my darkest days I was young, and time was on my side But like a fool I let it slip away And now those days are gone
And I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love
In my life I've felt so self-assured But oh how all the seasons change And now I'm not that strong
'cause I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this hell Living outside your love I am lost Somewhere inside my own dreams Afraid of what life really means Living without your love
I am lost Living inside myself Living inside this shell Living outside your love I am lost Translation in progress. Please wait...

When you find yourself In some far off place And it causes you To rethink some things
You start to sense That slowly you're becoming someone else And then you find yourself When you make new friends In a brand new town And you start to think About settlin' down
The things that would have been lost on you Are now clear as a bell And you find yourself That's when you find yourself
When you go through life So sure of where you're headin' And you wind up lost And it's the best thing that could have happened 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way It's really just as well Because you find yourself Yeah, that's when you find yourself
When you meet the one That you've been waitin' for And she's everything That you wanted and more And you look at her and you finally start To live for someone else And then you find yourself That's when you find yourself
We go through life So sure of where we're headin' And then we wind up lost And it's the best thing that could have happened 'Cause sometimes when you lose your way It's really just as well Because you find yourself Yeah, that's when you find yourself
