"Hip Hip Pooh-Ray!" is a song from the 1968 feat
urette Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. It is sung by the cast as a release from the dramatic tension of the story. The song 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 Blustery Day.
The song was written by the Sherman Brothers, Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman who have written most of the music for the Winnie the Pooh franchise over the years.
Lyrics
All: We never will forget,
Our hero of the wet,
Our quick-thinking, unsinking Pooh Bear. (Tigger: Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo!)
All: And Piglet, who indeed,
Helped out a friend in need,
A'truly they're the heroes of the day!
So we say...
Hip, hip, hooray,
For the Piglet and the Pooh.
Piglet and Pooh, we salute you.
For deeds of bravery,
And generousity,
Hip, hip, hooray,
Hip, hip, hooray,
Hip, hip, hooray, for Winnie-the-Pooh!
Piglet: And Piglet, too.
