Song lyrics

Deep in the hundred acre wood,
Where Christopher Robin plays,
You will find the enchanted neighbourhood,
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, Winnie the Pooh,
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff,
He's Winnie the Pooh,
Winnie the Pooh, Willy nilly silly old bear.

Notes

It is musically emblematic of the most successful branding Disney currently owns and has been used in most merchandising models of the brand since the song's first publication.

The song is included in Winnie The Pooh 1977 Movie Songs

In film, the song is generally utilized in the title sequence. The lyric gives an overview of the characters and the roles each plays in relation to Pooh himself. The song has been used in every theatrically released Pooh film as well as most of the television series. The song was also performed by Carly Simon and Ben Taylor on the soundtrack of Piglet's Big Movie (2003).

Tigger is the only original character from the books not to be named in this song. Tigger gets his own introduction song when he first appears in Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. In the 2011 film Winnie the Pooh, Tigger is finally named in the song, after Kanga and Roo, saying: "And Tigger, too."

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was Disney Animation Studios first film to not include a main antagonist since Dumbo (1941).
