"Heffalumps and Woozles" is a song from the 1978 short film Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. It was later featured in the 1987 release The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was written by the Sherman Brothers.
The song is about phantasmagoric Heffalumps and Woozles becoming a threat to Pooh and his food source. The song serves as a soundtrack to the iconic, psychedelic "Pooh Nightmare" sequence where Pooh subconsciously deals with the theft of his all-too-precious honey.
Lyrics
Tigger: Heffalumps and Woozles... Heffalumps and Woozles... Steal honey... Beware... Beware!
Honey Pots: They're black
they're brown
They're up
they're down
They're in
they're out
They're all about
They're far
they're near
They're gone
they're here
They're quick and slick they're insincere
Beware, Beware
Be a very wary bear
A Heffalump or Woozle
Is very confusil
A Heffalump or Woozle's very sly
Sly, sly, sly
They come in ones and twosles
But if they so choozles
Before your eyes you'll see them multiply
Ply, ply, ply
They're extraordinary
So better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
Size, size, size
If honey's what you covet
You'll find that they love it
Because they'll guzzle up the thing you prize
They're green
they're blue
They're pink
they're white
They're round
they're square
They're a terrible sight
They tie themselves in horrible knots
They come in stripes or polka dots
Beware, Beware
Be a very wary bear
(Musical interlude)
Honey Pots: They're extraordinary
So better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
Size, size, size
If honey's what you covet
You'll find that they love it
Because they'll guzzle up the things you prize
They're black
they're brown
They're up
they're down
They're in
they're out
They're all about
They're far
they're near
They're gone
they're here
They're quick and slick they're insincere
Beware, Beware
Beware, Beware
Beware!
