Pooh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the first day of Christmas
My good friends gave to me
A nice home in an old tree

On the second day
Christopher Robbin gave to me
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the third day of Christmas
Here's what Tigger gave to me
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the fourth day of Christmas
Here's what Piglet gave to me
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the fifthh day of Christmas
My good friends gave to me
Five honey pots, yum
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the sixth day of Christmas
Friend Owl gave to me
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the seventh day of Christmas
Here's what Gopher gave to me
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the eighth day of Christmas
Friend Eeyore gave to me
Eight games of Poohsticks
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the ninth day of Christmas
Little Roo gave to me
Nine songs for singing
Eight games of Poohsticks
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots, yum
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the tenth day of Christmas
Here's what Rabbit gave to me
Ten days of quiet
Nine songs for singing
Eight games of Poohsticks
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas
Kanga gave to me
Eleven crunchy cookies
Ten days of quiet
Nine songs for singing
Eight games of Poohsticks
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas
Here's what I have for you
Twelve hugs from Pooh bear
Eleven crunchy cookies
Ten days of quiet (shh)
Nine songs for singing
Eight games of Poohsticks
Seven silver spades
Six grand old stories
Five honey pots
Four knitted scarves
Three Tigger bounces
Two friends forever
And a nice home in an old tree





What a lovely home it is

Overall Meaning

The song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a beloved Christmas carol that has been sung for generations. Pooh's version of the song has a twist to the traditional lyrics, as it tells the story of what his friends gave to him in celebration of Christmas. The first day of Christmas, Pooh's good friends gave him a nice home in an old tree, and each day, a new friend added to his gifts. Christopher Robin gave him two friends forever, Tigger gave him three Tigger bounces, Piglet gave him four knitted scarves, and his friends collectively gave him five honey pots. Friend Owl gave him six grand old stories, Gopher gave him seven silver spades, Eeyore gave him eight games of Poohsticks, Roo gave him nine songs for singing, Rabbit gave him ten days of quiet, Kanga gave him eleven crunchy cookies, and on the twelfth day, Pooh gave twelve hugs to his friends.


The song is a clever way of incorporating the beloved characters from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh stories into a classic Christmas song. It is about sharing and giving, showing love and appreciation for those around us. The old tree symbolizes not only a physical place to call home but also friendship, safety, and security.


The song teaches us about the simple joys of life and how they can be shared. Pooh's friends gave him gifts that were not only meaningful but also practical and useful. They showed him that the most significant presents are those that come from the heart and create an emotional connection. The song is a reminder to appreciate the joys of the Christmas season and the love of our friends and families.
