Lyrics
Well the other day I met a little bunny
Encountering a bunny; setting the stage for a conversation
She said, ""Listen man, don't you think it's funny
Bunny expressing amusement about people's behavior
How so many folks just want to sit around
Observation of people's tendency to be idle
Aw, and moan and mope about what gets them down""
Reflecting on people's inclination to complain about their problems
CHORUS:
Introduction of the chorus; emphasizing action and joy
You gotta stand right up
Encouraging proactive and joyful behavior in the face of challenges
You gotta raise your voice
-You gotta get up with me
-And jump for joy
-You gotta rise and shine
-You gotta make some noise
-Aw, dance with freedom
-And jump, jump, jump for joy
-And the other evening I heard a little bullfrog
Observation of a bullfrog singing a love song
With his scratchy singing that sweet love song
Highlighting the frog's singing, emphasizing expression of love
He said, It don't matter if you're loud or quiet
Stating that expressing love is significant, regardless of volume
If you sing your love out, nobody can deny it
-CHORUS
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the importance of action
I hope that everybody understands
Expressing hope for universal understanding
That the tools we need are in our hands
Asserting that necessary tools for improvement are within reach
And I hope that everybody cross the land
Expressing hope for everyone to find something empowering
Can find that something that makes them stand
Encouraging individuals to discover what makes them unique
Clap their hands, do a dance
Encouraging positive actions like clapping, dancing, and saying "Yes we can"
Say ""Yes we can""
-Stand right up
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing unity and collective joy
Raise our voice
-Get up with me
-And jump for joy
-Rise and shine
-And make some noise
-Dance with freedom
-And jump, jump, jump for joy
-Jump, jump, jump a little little
Repeating the call to "Jump for Joy" with enthusiasm
Jump, jump, jump a little little
-Jump, jump, jump a little little
-Jump, jump, jump for joy...
