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 PoohWinnie the Pooh
tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear

Sang & Danced:

Up, Down And Touch The Ground
(Also a Winnie the Pooh Song)
Up, down, up
When I up, down and touch the ground
It puts me in the mood,
Up, down and touch the ground
In the mood for food
I am stout, round and I have found
Speaking poundage wiseI improve my appetite
When I exerciseI am short, fat and proud of that
And so, with all my mightI up, down and up, down to
My appetite's delightWhile I up, down and touch the ground
I think of things to chew, like honey
With a hefty happy appetite
I'm a hefty happy Pooh
With a hefty happy appetite
He's a hefty happy Pooh

We Danced:
Teddy Bear Playtime from Hap Palmer's CD So Big
