The Backson Song

Lyrics

Owl: It's a giant creature with a tail Here, I'll draw Piglet in for scale Piglet: Oh dear! Owl: Its hide is like a shaggy rug Its face, a surly, ugly mug With two sharp horns atop its head Between - a mop of hair - that's red! Everyone Else: (Gasps) Owl: And in its nose, a ring of gold It smells of monkeys' feet and mold! Its toes are black! Its fur is blue! I swear that all I tell you is not made up! The Backson! Everyone Else: The Backson? Owl: The Backson! Everyone Else: The Backson! Oh no! Pooh: But Owl, what does a Backson do? Everyone Else: Yes Owl, what does a Backson do? Owl: Hmmm...what does a backson do? I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking And now I will tell you! They sneak into your library And scribble in all your books! Everyone Else: The Backson! The Backson! We don't like the Backson! Owl: When decorating your Christmas tree They tangle up all the hooks! Everyone Else: The Backson! The Backson! We're afraid of the Backson! Owl: They spoil the milk! They stop all the clocks! They use their horns to put holes in your socks! Everyone Else: The Backson's the one who's been putting holes in our socks! Roo: Tell us more about what Backsons do! Tigger: Yes more about what Backsons do! Owl: More about what Backsons do? Why don't we hear some thoughts from you? Tigger: Maybe they make you sleep too late? Owl: Yes. Yes! That's good. That's great! Eeyore: I bet they're the reason my tail is gone Owl: You're on a roll! Go on! Go on! Rabbit: They muddy up your tidy house! Piglet: They make you feel as small as a mouse! Roo: They break your crayons! Rabbit: They spill your tea! Kanga: They wake up babies at one and three! Eeyore: They made me catch the cold I caught Pooh: They made me lose my train of thought Tigger: They swipe your stripes! Piglet: They clog your pipes! Rabbit: They dig up your garden! Eeyore: They won't beg your pardon Pooh: They eat your snacks! Piglet: They won't relax! Rabbit: They chip your tooth! Kanga: They steal your youth! Owl: And now you know the horrible truth! All: The Backson! The Backson! The Backson! The Backson! Oh no! Rabbit: Oh yes! Everybody Else: Huh? Rabbit: I know exactly what to do We'll find things Backson are partial to Pooh: Like books? Kanga: And dishes? Piglet: And socks? Roo: And toys! Rabbit: Yes! Everything that a Backson destroys Then we'll dig an enormous pit And he'll make the items lead to it He'll fall in and we'll get our friend! Owl: And the horrible nightmare can come to an end! The Backson! All: The Backson! Owl: The Backson! All: The Backson! Owl: Go home and search your closets! Bring everything that you can! Everyone Else: The Backson! The Backson! We're gonna catch the Backson! Owl: We'll save Christopher Robin By following Rabbit's plan! Everyone Else: The Backson! The Backson! We'll save Christopher Robin! We must be brave and have no fear! Owl: So to the death we'll persevere!!! Everyone Else: We'll search by the sun and the light of the moon And if everything goes well We'll be back soon! Owl: Back soon... Everyone Else: Back soon! Owl: Sounds like Backson Everyone Else: Back soon! Owl: Oh well. Good luck everyone!
