Lyrics
Deep in the hundred acre wood
Where Christopher Robin plays
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood
Of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend
And Kanga and little Roo
There's Rabbit and Piglet
And there's Owl
But most of all, Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!), Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!)
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Deep in the hundred acre wood
Where Christopher Robin plays
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood
Of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend
And Kanga and little Roo
(and Tigger too!)
There's Rabbit and Piglet
And there's Owl
But most of all, Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!), Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!)
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Trivia
- When the original song was written, Tigger did not appear in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, hence his exclusion from the song. In the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film, Tigger was added in the lyric, "and Kanga, and little Roo (and Tigger too!)"
- However, this did not stop them from excluding Piglet, who also did not appear in Honey Tree. At the time the song was written, Piglet was originally intended to be replaced by Gopher, before the decision was made to have both of them live in tandem.
- In the documentary film Pursuing Happiness, Richard Sherman recalled when a college student asked him how much money he made from the song. He said that during the Baby Jessica incident in 1987, Jessica asked her mother from the well to sing this song to her to help her feel better, saying that if Winnie the Pooh could get out of a tight spot, she can too.
