Lyrics
Pooh: Whenever I try to say too much I make such a terrible mess I forget sometimes that a big idea Can be simple to express

My thoughts get muddled and quite befuddled Till I stick to words of one syllable or less

Rabbit: One or less?

Pooh: Oh, you know what I mean.

Keep it simple When words get out of hand Sometimes the less you say The more that people understand Keep it simple That's the plan

Rabbit: I was just trying to make things easier By explaining in detail T-the right Ph for potting soil The damage done by hail The dangers of potato bugs And never once did I intend to complicate Oh, Pooh, wait Am I doing it again?

Pooh: Keep it simple When words get out of hand Just trust your friends to do their best

Rabbit: And they will understand

Pooh and Rabbit: Keep it simple That's the plan Keep it simple That's the plan.
