about

This song is really about Winnie the Pooh. The real Pooh, not the Disney Pooh. The cool Pooh: The Bear.

But you'll have to listen closely to hear it.

lyrics

Black, White & Sweet

Look at her go
She’s fabulous
Look at her go
I think I’m gonna cross the road and say hello
Sweet like a holiday morning

Look at her go
So slowly but
Look at her go
She’s way ahead of us as slowly as she goes
Slow like a holiday morning

It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O, how sweet it is

I say hello
How do you do
I say hello
How do you do the thing you do I’m longing so
To be like a holiday morning

It’s easy, you see
I can’t believe
She’s talking to me
And she is grinning as she drops her voice down low
I’ll tell you what I know
Know about a holiday morning

It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O how sweet it is

It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O how sweet it is
