The Way It Must Be Done

Lyrics from Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo

[Rabbit]: For our yearly Easter fun
We use the checklist
Number one:
We get the eggs
And then we'll lay them out like so
Number two:
We color them
Then dye them
And we take them out then dry them
And we line them up precisely in a row

Next we stack them
And we pack them
Make a list so we can track them
Tie the ribbons
Stuff the baskets when it's done
Then we count them out precisely
And we decorate them nicely
And when all of that is finished
We'll have fun

'Cause that's the way it must be done
See, from step one, see, that's how we win
We have to be aware to start to prepare
To commence, to get ready, to begin
Oh dear
Now, shall we get to work?

[Tigger]: Oh! Me first!
[Rabbit]: Very well. I have all the jobs assigned here on my clipboard.
[Tigger]: I'll take this one.
[Piglet]: I'll do the baskets!
[Rabbit]: Wait a minute.

[Tigger]: I'll paint this red!
[Rabbit]: No, paint it blue.
[Roo]: I'll take this egg!
[Rabbit]: No, that's for Pooh.
[Pooh]: I'll use this brush!
[Rabbit]: That's not for you!
[Piglet]: I'll tie the bow!
[Rabbit]: No, that's for Roo!

[Eeyore]: What do you want me to do?
[Rabbit]: You take the scissors and the glue.
[Tigger]: How 'bout we paint this something new, like maybe stripes?
[Piglet]: Me too!

[Rabbit]: No, no, no, no!
Stop having fun!
We have to systemize, prioritize, coordinate and organize
Or else, we'll never ever get this done!

We need order, concentration
This situation needs focus, control
We're painting and drying and packing and tying
Get together, or we'll never reach the goal

[Tigger]: I'll paint this red
[Rabbit]: We need order
[Tigger]: or maybe blue
[Rabbit]: Concentration
[Pooh]: I'll stuff the baskets
[Rabbit]: This situation's
[Piglet]: I'll dry these two
[Rabbit]: Out of control
[Roo]: I'll tie the ribbons
[Rabbit]: Painting, drying
[Eeyore]: I'll write the card
[Rabbit]: Packing, tying
[Tigger]: We can do it! Nothing to it!
[Roo]: Look at us! We're almost through it!

[Rabbit]: You're not doing it right!
Hold on!
Stop!
