Little Mr. Roo is a song from the film Pooh's Heffalump Movie. The opening of the song is performed by Kath Soucie as Kanga, with the remainder performed by Carly Simon. The song focuses on Roo, who Kanga feels is "reaching for the moon" and shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up, but should instead "take some time for dreaming." It was released as Track 3 on the album The Best of Pooh & Heffalumps Too.
Later in the film, Roo (voiced by Nikita Hopkins) performs a brief reprise verison of the song to try to cheer up his new friend, Lumpy.
Lyrics[]
Little Mister Roo
Reaching for the moon
So many things you've got to do
And no time for dreaming
Little Mister Roo
Let the stars shine over you
Don't grow up too fast too soon
Save some time for dreaming
Settle in, settle down
Let me see that sleepy yawn on your face
Close your eyes
I will love you completely
And always
Little Mister Roo
The moon shines silver over you
No one knows you like I do
And little Mister Roo
Reaching for the moon
Don't grow up too fast
Too soon
