"The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" is the theme song and personal anthem of Tigger, originally featured in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. It is repeated in Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! and again in the 1977 release The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It opens up the 2000 release of The Tigger Movie. It is also heard briefly in Piglet's Big Movie, Winnie the Pooh and in Christopher Robin. In 1974, Paul Winchell earned a Grammy award for his rendition of the song.
The music, lyrics and the idea were composed and written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. It was included in the Disney Sing Along Songs videos I Love to Laugh!, Sing a Song With Pooh Bear, and Sing a Song with Tigger (with extended lyrics).

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
the wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one
I-I-I'm...the only one! Rrrrow!
Oh, uh, glad to meet ya! The name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-ER! That spells Tigger!
The wonderful thing about Tiggers

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps!
They're loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps!
They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one
Tiggers are cuddly fellas
Tiggers are awfully sweet
Ev'ryone el-se is jealous
And that's why I repeat
Oh, the wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is
I'm the only one!
Cheerio! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
