First Version
Gus: It used to be I couldn't jump It really wasn't funny

And now you see what I've become: A super-powered bunny!

The minute you try jumping, man You're already a winner

So don't go feelin' down and blue If you're just a beginner!

Gus and Monkey Singers: Come on and jump right in! Get over the hump! Yeah, jump, jump, jump! Right out of the dumps! Hey, jump right in! Get yourself pumped! Yeah, jump jump jump! Get off of your rump!

Every dream you're dreaming needs a place to start So jump right in with all of your heart!

Gus: If at first you don't suceed Hey, don't get grim and grumpy

Theo: 'Cuz every road worth travelin' Can get a little bumpy

Cleo: First you worry about a slump But soon enough instead

Gus: You've got to worry about the moon 'Cuz you might bump your head!
