A. A. Milne

Hoppity

Christopher Robin goes
Hoppity, hoppity,
Hoppity, hoppity, hop.
Whenever I tell him
Politely to stop it, he
Says he can’t possibly stop.
 
 If he stopped hopping,
He couldn’t go anywhere,
Poor little Christopher
Couldn’t go anywhere...
That’s why he always goes
Hoppity, hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hoppity,
Hop.
