Lyrics
( Snuffy Brown plays piano.)

Snuffy Brown: When I was a puppy, I used to enjoy reading about "Winnie the Pooh." He's a bear, like Zoe Pumpkin. But, not very much like Zoe Pumpkin. This is a song he would sing when somebody would say something he didn't quite understand. He could've said, "What?" or "I beg your pardon?" But, Pooh would instead sing this song, which he made up for singing when his his brain felt fluffy. Goes like this...

( Snuffy Brown performs "Cottleston Pie.")

Snuffy Brown: (singing) Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. (spoken as he finishes the first verse...) Now, this is where the song changes key. What we call a "modulation." That's G sharp minor. (resumes singing) Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fish can't whistle and neither can I. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.

Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, Why does a chicken? I don't know why. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.
