A Few Simple Rules

Lyrics

Rabbit: I've got a thought, or maybe two or three Eeyore: Is anybody worried but me? Rabbit: Since more order and control are what we need Here are some simple rules, just a few, for us to heed No pecking twice on trees And no bothering the bees And regarding Beaver's dam, there's this decree: Building dams requires a permit And a foreman to confirm it And that foreman, quite conveniently, is me Rabbit and Chorus: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acrе Wood this will be Residents: Just a fеw simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Darby: I guess those rules aren't too bad Eeyore: Somethin' tells me he's not done yet Rabbit: Wait! Lunch is promptly served at noon A minute earlier's too soon And, Pooh, I know you'll love this suggestion There's too much honey in your diet Eat some veggies-- go on, try it! You'll thank me and so will your digestion Rabbit and Chorus: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Residents, Minus Pooh and Darby: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Rabbit: Now, Tigger, as I'm sure you've predicted Your bouncing is restricted To thirty minutes daily, more or less Try something else instead, making pots or baking bread With no bouncing, we'll all enjoy some rest Rabbit and Chorus: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Residents, Minus Pooh, Darby and Tigger: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Piglet: Oh, hello Rabbit Rabbit: Oh no! Piglet: Is something wrong? Rabbit: It's not sweeping time, it's dishwashing time! That's why I brought you an extra scrub brush Piglet: Uh, thank you, Rabbit, heh, but all of my dishes are already washed Rabbit: Uh, that doesn't matter. All chores are to be done at the same time, all over the Wood. It's simply more organized Piglet: If you say so, Rabbit Rabbit: My daily schedule shows When to rake or blow your nose You'll know to hoe or leave your peas alone But I can cite no greater crime Than to sweep at sleeping time Or to use a schedule different from my own! Piglet: Uh, what time is it now, Rabbit? Rabbit: Time to sing the chorus, of course Rabbit and Chorus: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Piglet: Just a few simple rules to follow to a T And what a splendid Hundred Acre Wood this will be Darby: Rabbit, I think the problem is, you're the only one who knows all the rules Rabbit: Oh, you're absolutely, right, Darby. I should post them where everyone can see their genius. I'll be back for sock-sorting time, Piglet Piglet: But I don't wear socks!
