They don't even bounce around
Come out and live with a community in a beautiful place out in the country

Because when you see them you turn bounce degrees and walk away
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

You can bounce a quarter off their tightly made beds
More to do with the humidity than heat

I've always thought of it as them bouncing people that shouldn't be there out.
I do drawings and stuff

The bouncing is figurative. They turn away people trying to get in that aren't allowed. Try visualizing that as if they are running at the doors and physically ricochet off of the bouncers.
There's a difference between canon and not-stupid.

I thought it was because when they throw people out they bounce on the pavement like skipping stones.
This is where cool people write stuff.

'Bouncing' came first. Bouncers are the guys who do the bouncing.

Bouncing as a slang term came from the 1800s or thereabouts and is probably only still around because of bouncers.
I will rule the world, and find that truly good cup of coffee.

Considering doing the act of 'Bouncing' would automatically make the person who is doing the act the 'Bouncer', I would say the 'Bouncer' came first as the intention made him the bouncer prior to the bouncing.

Nah. Bouncer isn't what they were called first. They were just doormen or even just "security"
