Lyrics
Pooh: When Piglet's fast asleepin'

Tigger: And nightmares come a'creepin'

Pooh and Tigger: We'll be here a'keepin' awake

Tigger: We'll just sit here you and I

Pooh: Underneath this moonlit sky

Tigger: Lookin' danger in da eye

Pooh and Tigger: For Piglet's sake We are the nightmare wranglers, hee-yaw!

Tigger: Protectors of the peaceful snooze

Pooh: We'll catch those pesky 'mares

Tigger: While they're sittin' unawares

Pooh and Tigger: With lassos that we're not afraid to use We are the nightmare wranglers, hee-yaw!

Pooh: The bosses of the hosses late at night

Tigger: Dat's right! When those moonlight 'mares come 'round

Pooh: We will always hold our ground

Pooh and Tigger: And we won't sleep until you're sleepin' tight

Pooh: But, Tigger, I've never wrangled anything before.

Tigger: Oh, well, no better time to start, buddy boy.

Pooh: But I don't even know what wrangling is.

Tigger: Dat's okay, neither do I. Hoo!

Pooh: Oh!

Tigger: Round 'em up!

Pooh: Count 'em out!

Tigger: Give 'em all you've got

Pooh: My eyes are buckled by day

Tigger: But at night de're not

Pooh: Close your eyes

Tigger: Go to sleep!

Pooh: Pleasant dreams

Tigger: Good night

Pooh and Tigger: You can we won't let the nightmares bite

'Cause we're the nightmare wranglers, hee-yaw!

Tigger: Defenders of the dreamy doze

Pooh: (yawning slightly) Oh, the work is never easy

Tigger: Yeah, but the hats are sorta cheesy

Pooh: And that's part and parcel of the life we choose

Pooh and Tigger: We are the nightmare wranglers, hee-yaw!

Tigger: The most wranglin', tanglin' dudes you ever saw

Pooh and Tigger: If we see the slightest trace Of a nightmare 'round this place

Tigger: You can bet your bottom dollar That we'll rope him 'round the collar

Pooh: And we'll look at him and holler

Pooh and Tigger Yowa yippe kai-y'ay yee ho!

Tigger: Nightmare wranglers!
