12. LITTLE KNOW FACTS
LUCY
Do you see that tree?
it is a Fir tree.
It's called a Fir tree because it gives us fur,
For coats,
It also gives us wool in the wintertime.
LINUS
I never knew that before, Lucy. That's very interesting.
LUCY
This is an elm tree.
It's very little.
But it will grow up into a giant tree,
An oak.
You can tell how old it is by counting it's leaves.
LINUS
Gosh, Lucy, that's fascinating.
CHARLIE BROWN
Now wait a minute, Lucy. I don't mean to interfere, but-
LUCY
And way up there,
Those fluffy little whit things,
Those are clouds,
They make the wind blow.
And way down there,
Those tiny little black things,
Those are bugs,
They make the grass grow.
LINUS
Is that so?
LUCY
That's right. They run around all day long, tugging and
tugging at each tiny seedling until it grows into a great
tall blade of grass.
LINUS
Boy, that's interesting.
CHARLIE BROWN
Oh, good grief.
LUCY
And this thing here.
It's called a hydrant.
They grow all over,
And no one seems to know
Just how
A little thing like that
Gives so much water.
D'you see that bird?
It's called an Eagle,
But since it's little it has another name,
A Sparrow,
And on Christmas and Thanksgiving
We eat them.
CHARLIE BROWN
Lucy, how can you say that?! I'm sorry, but I can't stand
idly by and listen to-
LUCY
And way up there,
The little stars and planets,
Make the rain,
That falls in showers.
And when it's cold and winter is upon us,
The snow comes up,
Just like the flowers.
CHARLIE BROWN
Now, Lucy, I know that's wrong. Snow doesn't come up,
it comes down.
LUCY
After it comes up, the wind blows it around so it
looks like it's coming down but actually it comes up
out of the ground- like grass. It comes up, Charlie Brown,
snow comes up!
CHARLIE BROWN
Oh, good grief!
LINUS
Lucy, why is Charlie Brown banging his head against
that tree?
LUCY
To loosen the bark to make the tree grow faster.
Clouds can make the wind blow
Bugs can make the grass grow
So, there you go
These are little known facts
That now
You know!
13. SUPPERTIME
SNOOPY
My stomach clock just went off. It's suppertime and Charlie
Brown has forgotten to feed me. Here I lie, a withering hollow
of a dog, and there sits my supper dish... EMPTY! But that's
all right. He'll remember. When no furry friend comes to
greet him after school, then he'll remember. And he'll rush
out here to the doghouse but it'll be too late. There will
be nothing left but the dried carcass of the former friend
who used to love to run and play so happily with him.
Nothing left but the bleached puppy bones of...
CHARLIE BROWN
Hey, Snoopy. Are you asleep or something? I've been
standing here a whole minute with your supper.
SNOOPY
Suppetime? Suppertime?
Behold the brimming bowl of meat and meal
Which is brought forth to ease our hunger.
Behold the flowing flagon moist and sweet
Which has been sent to slake our thirst.
CHARLIE BROWN
okay, there's no need for a big production. Just get
down off that doghouse and eat.
SNOOPY
Doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo
Doo doo
It's suppertime.
Yeah, it's suppertime.
Oh, it's sup-sup-suppertime,
Very best time of day.
It's suppertime.
Yeah, it's suppertime.
And when suppertime comes,
Can supper be far away?
Bring on the soup dish, bring on the cup.
Bring on the bacon and fill me up.
'Cause it's supper
Supper, supper, suppertime.
(he whistles and scats)
Suppertime
Br-r-ing on the dog food, bring on the bone.
Bring on the barrel and roll me home,
'Cause it's supper
Supper, supper, supper,
Supper-
Super pepper-upper,
Supper-
Super duper suppertime!
Wintertime's nice with the ice and snow,
Summertime's nice with a place to go,
Bedtime, overtime, half-time too,
But the just can't hold a candle to
My suppertime.
Oh, yeah!
Hello, home listeners! How are you?
Br-r-ing on the hamburg, bring on the bun
Pappy's little puppy loves ev'ryone.
'Cause it's supper
Supper, supper, supper,
Supper
Super pepper-upper,
Supper,
Super duper suppertime!
CHORUS SNOOPY(ad libs)
Suppertime! Ooh!
Suppertime! Ooh, yeah!
Suppertime! C'mon, bring on the meat
Suppertime! It's time to eat!
Suppertime! Oh!
Suppertime! Oh!
Suppertime! Oh!
Suppertime! Suppertime!
Suppertime! Bring on the food-
Suppertime! Bring on the hamburg-
Suppertime! Bring on the hot dog-
Suppertime! Bring on the doctor-
Suppertime! Gimme food, gimme water, gimme something to chew
Gimme food, gimme water, gimme something to do!
CHARLIE BROWN
NOW CUT THAT OUT! Whcy can't you eat your meal calmly
and quietly like and other normal dog?
SNOOPY
So what's wrong with making mealtime a joyous occasion?
Supper
Supper supper suppertime!
