"I Hum to Myself " is a song from Welcome to Pooh Corner . The song was written by the Academy Award winning songwriting duo of Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman . The Sherman Brothers also wrote the majority of famous Winnie the Pooh songs including songs like, "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers" and "Heffalumps and Woozles " from the 1960s. In 2000 , the Sherman Brothers also famously wrote the score to The Tigger Movie .
Song placement
New episodes played from 1983-1986 in the first run. Reruns continued to air until 1997. The Sherman Brothers wrote five songs, one for each of the major characters to sing, repeatedly each week. A storyline would "belong" to one character and at the end of an episode, the appropriate character would sing his "lesson song".

Lyrics
When I see shadows on the wall
Hear noises in the night
And find I can't just fall asleep
I'm too awake with fright
To drive away the spookies, and the trembles and the fears
I call upon this little trick
That I have used for years
I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say to myself
Right away to myself
Everything's okay
It's funny when I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say everything's okay
To myself
All my jumps and jitters
Flitter away
So I hum to myself
And they flitter away
So I hum to myself
And they flitter away
When there's a brand new neighbor
Whom I'd really like to know
I've always been too shy to just walk up
And say hello
I want to run away and hide
And yet I never do
I call upon this little trick
It always see me through
I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say to myself
Right away to myself
Everything's okay
It's funny when I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say everything's okay
To myself
All my jumps and jitters
Flitter away
So I just walk up
And say hello
I just walk up
And say hello
