(if you're not in the HP filter you didn't see the fanfic where I just mentioned "House at Pooh Corner", though I was referring to the book, not this song. not required reading, though --)
Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As the days passed away all too soon
But I've wandered much farther today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the wood
So help me if you can; I've got to get
Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one
There is so much that is still to be done
Counting the bees in the hive
Chasing the clouds from sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
He's got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from there no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's here
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear
So help me if you can; I've got to get
Back to the House at Pooh Corner by one
There is so much that is still to be done
Counting the bees in the hive
Chasing the clouds from sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
...
There's apparently another verse after that, given a Google, but I didn't learn that at summer camp. I'm starting to get a little annoyed at how many of my "camp songs" were actually just somewhat aged ("aged" vs. late 80s to early 90s, when I was there) pop songs. This particular one was enhanced by the fact that of the various summer camps around the lake, one had a sort of glen that was actually referred to as "Pooh Corner".
Apropos of nothing, I also remember falling in love with Genesis while on a lakeshore sleepout -- someone had a battery-powered boom box, and this is the song that has stuck in my head among the cattails and the boathouse ever since:
Tonight I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
