The song is sung to Pooh when he gets stuck in the door and Christopher Robin and friends are trying to convince Pooh to use his mind over his body.

The bags of peanut brittle displayed next to the cash register at the Bluffton Senior Center, 132 N. Main St., is a deceptively modest representation of the fundraising operation, which takes place in the weeks before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Here’s another way of looking at it:
