Snoopy For President Lyrics

The time had come to elect a President

And all the famous candidates thought they were heaven-sent

They screamed and raved and pounded their hands above their hearts

But soon the noble promises were hard to tell apart

Waiting at the pumpkin patch, a dog sincere and brave

And everybody hoped that soon the country he would save

The pumpkin said "The day has come for you to take a stand"

"For love has left the people across our native land"

Some wear the sign of the elephant and some wear the sign of the mule

But we'll hold the sign of the beagle high and love will shine right through

All the politicians, they swore he couldn't win

But Snoopy only shook his head and flashed his famous grin

He jumped into his faithful friend, the Sopwith Camel plane

And bounced around the countryside from Washington to Maine

[Brief sound effect-airplane zooming]

Some wear the sign of the elephant and some wear the sign of the mule

But we'll hold the sign of the beagle high and love will shine right through

New York State was lookin' bad till Snoopy made a speech

Soon Illinois and Tennessee were both within his reach

He won the vote in Oregon but time was growin' thin

And back at the convention hall, the votes were pourin' in

Snoopy smiled his way into the hearts of everyone

But when the votes were counted up, they found he needed one

The winning vote for Snoopy came when a stranger raised his hand

Snoopy turned, the stranger spoke [voice of the Red Baron] "Mein friend, vee meet again!"

Some wear the sign of the elephant and some wear the sign of the mule

[Chorus finishes against a background of a speaker announcing "Introducing... the next President... of the United States of America!"]

[Chorus repeats and FADES against a background of applaus]
