Rumbly in My Tumbly

"Rumbly in My Tumbly" is a song from the 1966 short film Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. It is also incorporated into the 1977 film, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which is an amalgamation of three Winnie-the-Pooh featurettes, including Honey Tree. In the song, Pooh complains light-heartedly of a rumble in his tumbly, indicating hunger. Pooh feels compelled to feed his urge and get some honey from a honey tree.

The song was written by Robert & Richard Sherman who have written most of the music for the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise over the years.

Lyrics

Hum dum dee dum [x2]

I'm so rumbly in my tumbly {hits head on branch}

Time to munch an early luncheon

Hum dee dum dum dum

Oh I wouldn't climb this tree, if a Pooh flew like a bee But I wouldn't be a bear then, and so I guess I wouldn't care then

There's some honey and I'm a Pooh bear

and that's all I do care and so I'll climb there

I'm so rumbly in my tumbly, time for something {smack's lips} time for something {branch breaks} sweet ... to eat
