Adventure is a Wonderful Thing is a song from Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin sung by Owl before his friends set off on a daring journey to rescue Christopher Robin.

Lyrics

Oh, how I envy you
Not everyone has the chance
To face the unspeakable terrors
Of the great unknown

Today's the day
In only a matter of moments
You'll all be on your way
What lurks around the corner
Not a soul can say
But I can guess
More or less
Hidden dangers
Great duress
Ah, the moments of glory
Is close at hand
It's gonna be grand

Adventure is a wonderful thing
Pack only the essential
I'll tell you what to bring
Your strength
Your nerve
Your hearts
Your wits
And for skullosaurus attacks
First aid kits

Adventure is a hoot and a half
You'll face unearthly dangers
And look at them and laugh
The claws
The teeth
The chase
The thrill
You'll never want to come home
Maybe you never will

That's the beauty of adventure
It's strictly sink or float
It runs you 'til you're ragged
Then it grabs you by the throat
You struggle to survive it
Though the chances are remote
Hoo, hoo, lucky you
Wish I was coming too
Adventure is a wonderful thing

I almost forgot the very best part
You not only get to save your friend
From the most dangerous place
Namely Skull
But from the most dangerous part
Of the most dangerous place
The eye of the skull itself

Oh, bother

And you
General Pooh
Off you go
Marching high and low
Your friend
Waits at the end
Right here
Take a look
The map is perfectly clear
With your excellent sense of direction
You've nothing to fear

Through the quicksand
Tempting fate
And fighting spasms
Dodging avalanching boulders
Remember, Christopher Robin's fate
Rests completely on your shoulders Pooh

Excuse me Owl

It's up to you

That's the beauty of adventure
The trembling and the dread
Oh I can't think of another thing
I'd rather do instead

Perhaps you could join us?

No, no, you go ahead

Hoo, hoo, lucky you
Tally ho, and toodle ooh
Ready now, noble chin
Chest out, tummy in
Make a fracas, have a fling
Drop a postcard, give a ring
Get the lead out, time to swing
Whoop dee doo, and badda bing
Adventure, is a wonderful thing

I salute you
And those of you doomed to never return
I salute you twice
