SONG: SNOOPY
(Snoopy's dream music begins.)
CHARLIE
BROWN: (offstage)
Hey, Snoopy, we're home from school. Hi there, fella. Gosh, it's good
to see ya.
LUCY:
(offstage)
Oh, Snoopy, you're so adorable.
CHARLIE
BROWN:
Okay, Snoopy, get back on
your doghouse. I'll be out later with your supper.
LUCY:
I think Snoopy's such a
wonderful dog.
CHARLIE
BROWN:
Me too. He's just about
the best there is.
SNOOPY:
(Singing from his
doghouse.)
THEY LIKE ME,
I THINK THEY'RE SWELL.
ISN'T IT REMARKABLE
HOW THINGS TURN OUT SO WELL?
PLEASANT DAY, PRETTY SKY,
LIFE GOES ON, HERE I LIE
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
COZY HOME, BOARD AND BED,
STURDY ROOF BENEATH MY HEAD.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
FAITHFUL FRIENDS ALWAYS NEAR
ME,
BRING ME BONES, SCRATCH MY EAR.
LITTLE BIRDS COME TO CHEER ME,
EVERY DAY
SITTING HERE
ON MY STOMACH
WITH THEIR SHARP LITTLE CLAWS
WHICH ARE USUALLY COLD
AND OCCASIONALLY PAINFUL,
AND SOMETIMES THERE ARE SO MANY
THAT I CAN HARDLY STAND IT
Rats!
I FEEL EVERY NOW AND THEN
THAT I GOTTA BITE SOMEONE.
I KNOW EVERY NOW AND THEN WHAT I WANNA BE,
A FIERCE JUNGLE ANIMAL CROUCHED ON THE LIMB OF A TREE.
GIRLS
VOICES: (offstage)
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

SNOOPY:
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA
I'D STAY VERY, VERY STILL
'TIL I SEE A VICTIM COME.
I'D WAIT, KNOWING VERY WELL EVERY SECOND COUNTS,
AND THEN, LIKE THE FIERCE JUNGLE CREATURE I AM,
I WOULD POUNCE.
I'D POUNCE!
I'D POUNCE!!
I'D POU... WOW...WOW WOW. . .
You know, I never realized it was so far down to the ground from up here.
HMMM.
LET ME SEE, WHERE WAS I?
OH, THAT'S RIGHT.
THE PRETTY SKY.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
COZY HOME, BOARD AND BED,
STURDY ROOF BENEATH MY HEAD.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL.
I wonder if it will snow
tonight. . . Aroooooooooo!
CHARLIE
BROWN:
I think I'll just walk
right up to that little red-haired girl and introduce myself. I think
I'll introduce myself and then I think I'll ask her to come over here
and sit next to me. I think I'll ask her to sit by me and then I
think I'll tell her how much I've always admired her... I think I'll
flap my arms and fly to the moon.
SNOOPY:
Yesterday, I was a dog.
Today, I'm a dog. Tomorrow, I'll probably still be a dog. There's
just so little hope of advancement.
LUCY:
Today is April fools day
Charlie Brown. I think I'll play a little trick on you. I think I'll
try a little trick. You understand what I'm saying don't you? You
understand this is April fools day? You sure? I want to be certain
you understand. Okay! Hey Charlie Brown, guess what! That little
red-haired girl is over there and she wants to give you a hug and
kiss.
CHARLIE
BROWN:
Really? Wow, this is
fantastic!
LUCY:
April fool!! Just like
shooting fish in a barrel.
LINUS:
Snoopy! Do you see this
stick? I, the human being, will throw the stick and you, the dog,
will retrieve it.
SNOOPY:
I, the dog, could not be
less interested.
