Adventure is a Wonderful Thing

Adventure is a Wonderful Thing is a song from Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin sung by Owl before his friends set off on a daring journey to rescue Christopher Robin.

Lyrics
Oh, how I envy you Not everyone has the chance To face the unspeakable terrors Of the great unknown

Today's the day In only a matter of moments You'll all be on your way What lurks around the corner Not a soul can say But I can guess More or less Hidden dangers Great duress Ah, the moments of glory Is close at hand It's gonna be grand

Adventure is a wonderful thing Pack only the essential I'll tell you what to bring Your strength Your nerve Your hearts Your wits And for skullosaurus attacks First aid kits

Adventure is a hoot and a half You'll face unearthly dangers And look at them and laugh The claws The teeth The chase The thrill You'll never want to come home Maybe you never will

That's the beauty of adventure It's strictly sink or float It runs you 'til you're ragged Then it grabs you by the throat You struggle to survive it Though the chances are remote Hoo, hoo, lucky you Wish I was coming too Adventure is a wonderful thing

I almost forgot the very best part You not only get to save your friend From the most dangerous place Namely Skull But from the most dangerous part Of the most dangerous place The eye of the skull itself

Oh, bother

And you General Pooh Off you go Marching high and low Your friend Waits at the end Right here Take a look The map is perfectly clear With your excellent sense of direction You've nothing to fear

Through the quicksand Tempting fate And fighting spasms Dodging avalanching boulders Remember, Christopher Robin's fate Rests completely on your shoulders Pooh

Excuse me Owl

It's up to you

That's the beauty of adventure The trembling and the dread Oh I can't think of another thing I'd rather do instead

Perhaps you could join us?

No, no, you go ahead

Hoo, hoo, lucky you Tally ho, and toodle ooh Ready now, noble chin Chest out, tummy in Make a fracas, have a fling Drop a postcard, give a ring Get the lead out, time to swing Whoop dee doo, and badda bing Adventure, is a wonderful thing

I salute you And those of you doomed to never return I salute you twice
