[SNOOPY]
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
Ev'ry 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 ev'ry now and then
That I gotta bite someone
I know ev'ry now and then what I wanna be
A fierce jungle animal crouched on the limb of a tree
[GIRLS (offstage)]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
[SNOOPY]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la
I'd stay very very still
Till I see a victim come
I'd wait knowing very well ev'ry second counts
And then like the fierce jungle creature I am
I would pounce!
I'd pounce!
I'd pounce!
—Ay, ay ay ay ay
You know, I never realized it was so far down to the ground from up here
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
(spoken)
I wonder if it will snow tonight
