I Hum to Myself

thumb
"I Hum to Myself" is a song from Welcome to Pooh Corner. The song was written by the Academy Award winning songwriting duo of Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The Sherman Brothers also wrote the majority of famous Winnie the Pooh songs including songs like, "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers" and "Heffalumps and Woozles" from the 1960s. In 2000, the Sherman Brothers also famously wrote the score to The Tigger Movie.
==Song placement==
New episodes played from 1983-1986 in the first run. Reruns continued to air until 1997. The Sherman Brothers wrote five songs, one for each of the major characters to sing, repeatedly each week. A storyline would "belong" to one character and at the end of an episode, the appropriate character would sing his "lesson song".
==About the song==
"I Hum to Myself" is sung by Piglet. It is about how Piglet deals with his fears, namely, he hums to himself.
==Lyrics==
When I see shadows on the wall
Hear noises in the night
And find I can't just fall asleep
I'm too awake with fright
To drive away the spookies, and the trembles and the fears
I call upon this little trick
That I have used for years
I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say to myself
Right away to myself
Everything's okay
It's funny when I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say everything's okay
To myself
All my jumps and jitters
Flitter away
So I hum to myself
And they flitter away
So I hum to myself
And they flitter away
When there's a brand new neighbor
Whom I'd really like to know
I've always been too shy to just walk up
And say hello
I want to run away and hide
And yet I never do
I call upon this little trick
It always see me through
I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say to myself
Right away to myself
Everything's okay
It's funny when I hum to myself
And laugh to myself
And say everything's okay
To myself
All my jumps and jitters
Flitter away
So I just walk up
And say hello
I just walk up
And say hello
