Suddenly Eeyore

A Duet Between Christopher Robin and Pooh

Words: Chris Malme
To the tune of "Suddenly Seymour" from " Little Shop Of Horrors"
by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken

Mummy looks on at this little boy kneeling
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers
But who will stay with me, 'til nighttime is over
For me to cuddle and ease all my fears

Suddenly Eeyore is standing before me
Fearless and faithful, on whom I depend
Suddenly Eeyore is snuggled beside me
With sweet understanding
'Cos Eeyore's my friend

I'm just a bear with a liking for honey
Generally happy and easy to please
But when I find that my cupboard is empty
Who can I turn to to put me at ease?

Suddenly Eeyore is standing before me
Fearless and faithful, on whom I depend
Suddenly Eeyore is there in the doorway
With sweet jars of honey
'Cos Eeyore's my friend

Tell me these presents last 'til forever,
Tell me the honeypot never runs dry
Pooh, your so selfish, I wish you would learn that
Friendship is something that honey can't buy.

Suddenly Eeyore (Suddenly Eeyore)
Is standing before me (Is standing before me)
I don't need no presents (I want some presents!)
Why should we pretend?
Suddenly Eeyore is always there for me           {Together}
With sweet understanding (With sweet jars of honey)
With sweet understanding (With sweet jars of honey)
With sweet understanding             {Together}
For Eeyore's my friend.
                 Just when I think that my cupboard is empty,
Eeyore brings honey, 'cos Eeyore's my friend!
