Tigger missing from Winnie the Pooh Song

there is a song that starts off 'Deep in the hundred acre wood, where Christopher Robin plays..." I believe it is one of the original Disney soundtrack songs for the old Winnie the Pooh movies. Does anyone know why this song doesn't mention Tigger? Full lyrics are below...

Thanks for any help! My daughter caught this and really wants to know wny tigger is left out!

Deep in the Hundred-Acre Wood
Where Christopher Robin plays
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood
Of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend
And Kanga and little Roo
There's Rabbit and Piglet and there's Owl
But most of all Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly ole bear

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly ole bear

Tigger wasn't in the very first movie/episode. He was added later, after the song had been created.

Well, if they managed to change the "Giglligan's Island" Theme song from "the movie star, and the rest" to "the movie star, the Professor and Mary Ann...", they could have made the change for somebody as incredible as Tigger!

Um, you mean like Mr. Lucas added scenes to the original Star Wars movies?

The Gilligan's Island theme song was changed with the change in seasons, not simply edited in later for older episodes.

Originally, I thought it was because he wasn't in WTP&tHT but Piglet wasn't in it either and he was included. I read somewhere that Piglet was originally replaced with Gopher (who also isn't mentioned in the theme song.) If that's true, the original showing of WTP&tHT probably didn't have the theme song. Disney probably added the theme song starting in "Blustery Day", and mentioned Piglet in it because he's at the beginning of the short already knowing Pooh and friends, but didn't include Tigger because he first meets Pooh later, and has his own song.

In the upcoming 2011 film, Tigger has been added to the characters mentioned in the theme song, and here's proof.
