Pooh for President

Pooh for President is a 1976 Disney song promoting the Winnie the Pooh for President campaign at Disneyland. It was the first song that Larry Groce and the Disneyland Children's Sing-Along Chorus did for The Walt Disney Company, and was nominated for a Grammy in the category of "Best Recording for Children" in 1976.

Lyrics

I'm proud to nominate a bear
Who's been a friend to me
A bear whose name in stories
known by millions sea to sea
And so right now, without more words
Or any more adieu
I give you our next president
The honorable Winnie the Pooh

Pooh for president!
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

He's pleased to punch
Yes, Pooh is the one
Stand up and cheer
Our favorite son

Pooh for president!
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)

Pooh: Thank you! Thank you!
If I'm elected, I make a promise
to all you girls and boys!
I'll do away with taxes
on bicycles, food and toys!
A bit of honey in every pot
Will be my golden rule
And each you will have a snack
When you come home from school

Pooh for president!
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

The people's choice
The bear for you
All away with
Deputy Pooh

Pooh for president
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)

Pooh: Christopher Robin
is the headed adviser on my team!
My running mate is Piglet
with Piglet's great esteem
My cabinet is composed of
Owl, Eeyore and Tigger too
My chief-in-staff is Kanga
and her assistant, Roo

Thank you Pooh
Now let me say
You folks must make the choice
Of Pooh is in the country's heart
Who has the people's voice
And while the words of elephants and donkeys
Filled the air
Perhaps you'll find that now is the time
To vote for Pooh the Bear

Pooh for president!
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

He is the only one
Who can
Bring us together
Once again

Pooh for president!
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

Pooh for president
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)

(spoken) Let me hear you now

Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

(spoken) All right!

Pooh for president
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)

(spoken) Oh, really good!

Pooh for president
(Vote for Winnie the Pooh!)
Pooh for president!
(Pooh is right for you!)
