"How to Be a Tigger" is a song from The Tigger Movie. Roo and the others dress up as Tiggers to pose as his family. It was included in Sing a Song with Tigger. There is dialogue interruption, in which Rabbit angrily scolds them for not making winter preparations and Pooh starts to do just that, but Roo objects, still wanting to make Tigger happy and the song resumes.
Lyrics[]
Roo: How to be a tigger
How to be a tigger
How to be a tigger is up to you Owl: Ah, you've got to look like a tigger Piglet: And sound like a tigger? Eeyore: And act like a tigger too
Owl: If we paint black stripes on our underwear
And glue on whiskers too
We're bound to appear far more as tiggers do
(Unquestionably)
Piglet: Maybe we could all say "T-T-F-N"
And shout "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hooooo!"
We all might sound a lot more tiggerish too
Ha-ha, you think?
All: And that is how to be a tigger
How to be a tigger
How to be a tigger is up to you
You've got to look like a tigger
And sound like a tigger
And act like a tigger too
Eeyore: If we break things up and knock things down
And leave the place a mess
That's the thing that Tigger does the best
(I ought to know)
Pooh: And if I don't eat honey from the honey pot
Ol' Tigger will plainly see
I must be another tigger because
I couldn't possibly be me
All: And that is how to be a tigger
How to be a tigger
How to be a tigger is up to you
You've got to look like a tigger
And sound like a tigger
And act like a tigger-
(Rabbit/Dialogue interruption)
Roo: Um, if we could all be happy Kanga: Full of friendliness and cheer Kanga and Roo: He'll surely see we are his family!
Owl: Ah, we're filled with joy and laughter Pooh: And the happiness he starts Eeyore: And feel it from the bottom of our hearts
All: And that is how to be a tigger
How to be a tigger
How to be a tigger is up to you
You've got to be like a tigger
Full of glee like a tigger
With a happy Eeyore: hoo-hoo-hoo-
Kanga: How to be a tigger Owl: How to be a tigger Eeyore: How to be a tigger is up to you Pooh: You've gotta be like a tigger Kanga: Full of glee like a tigger All: With a happy hoo-hoo-hoo-hooooo!
The scenes during the line "That's the thing that Tigger does the best, I ought to know" have been flipped.
There was different footage during the stanza "We're filled with joy and laughter/And the happiness he starts"; in the movie, there are close-ups of Owl and Pooh, while in the sing-along, it is a single wide-shot of the gang.
