Pooh's Little Songs, Hums, and Murmers
Isn't it funny
How a bear likes honey?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
I wonder why he does?
It's very fun thought that, if Bears were Bees,
They'd build their nest at the bottom of trees.
And that being so (if Bees were Bears).
We shouldn't have to climb up all these stairs.
How sweet to be a cloud.
Floating in the blue!
Every little cloud.
Always sings aloud.
"How sweet to be a cloud
floating in the blue!"
It makes him very proud.
To be a little cloud.
Tra-la-la
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la
Tra-la-la, tra-la-la
Rum-tum-tiddle-um-tum
Tiddle-iddle, tiddle-iddle
Tiddle-iddle, tiddle-iddle
Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um
Who found the Tail?
"I," said Pooh,
"At a quarter to two
(Only it was quarter to eleven really,)
I found the Tail!"
It's very, very funny,
'Cos I know I had some honey;
'Cos it had a lable on,
Saying HUNNY.
A goloptious full-up pot too
And I don't know where it's got to,
No, I don't know where it's gone--
Well, it's funny.
Cottleston Pie
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
A fish can't whistle and neither can I.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
Why does a chicken, I don't know why.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
"Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!"
Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
I don't much mind if it rains or snows,
'Cos I've got a lot of honey on my nice new nose,
I don't much care if it snows or thaws,
'Cos I've got a lot of honey on my nice clean paws!
Sing Ho! for a bear!
Sing Ho! for a Pooh!
And I'll have a little something in an hour or two!
They all went off to discover the Pole,
Owl and Piglet and Rabbit and all;
It's a Thing you Discover, as I've been tole
By Owl and Piglet and Rabbit and all
Eeyore, Christopher Robin and Pooh
And Rabbit's relations all went too----
And where the Pole was none of them knew . . . .
Sing Hey! for Owl and Rabbit and all!
ANXIOUS POOH SONG.
3 Cheers for Pooh!
(For Who?)
For Pooh--
(Why what did he do?)
I thought you knew;
He saved his friend from a wetting!
3 Cheers for Bear!
(For where?)
For Bear--
He couldn't swim,
But he rescued him!
(He rescued who?)
Oh, listen do!
I am talking of Pooh--
(Of who?)
Of Pooh!
(I'm sorry I keep forgetting.)
Well, Pooh was a Bear of Enormous Brain
(just say it again!)
Of enormous brain
(Of enormous what?)
Well, he ate a lot,
And I don't know if he could swim or not,
But he managed to float
On a sort of a boat
(On a sort of what?)
Well, a sort of pot--
So now let's give him, three hearty cheers
(So now let's give him three hearty whiches?)
And hope he'll be with us for years and years,
And grow in health and wisdom and riches!
3 Cheers for Pooh!
(For who?)
For Pooh--
3 Cheers for Bear!
(For where?)
For Bear--
3 Cheers for the wonderful Winnie-the-Pooh!
(Just tell me, Somebody--WHAT DID HE DO?)
