Winnie the Pooh
Rudy Valle's still singing through his phone Byrd is on the pole so all alone The flappers are a dancin' Six white horses are a prancin' And the big top tented circus' come to town. Christopher Robin is alive today And Winnie the Pooh is feeling fine Turn around people Look at what they do Will live for a long, long time. Doug MacArthur's pulling troops back home The cowboy's got nowhere to roam FDR is fireside chattin' Joe the stoolie's still a rattin' On his friends in all the B-rate picture shows And cars are getting lower all the time Mickey Mouse has a television shine Louis is a hittin' Beatty's fightin' kittens John Swayze's laying it right on the line Christopher Robin is alive today] And Winnie the Pooh is feeling fine Turn around people Listen what they say Will live for a long, long time. Spike Jones on the Victrola And folks drink Pepsi-Cola Shooting water from a gun Looks like it would be fun Pretty Boy is on the loose Tweren't so bad since John Wilkes Booth And it's Howdy Doody time And shaving creme is lime And rockets to the moon And rock and roll is fast And Anchorage is in ruin And Mets are not in last It's over all so fast But then it comes again. Christopher Robin is alive today And Winnie the Pooh is feeling fine Turn around people
Listen what they say Will live for a long, long time. Yethirr.
