The Great Writer

Lyrics

[SNOOPY, spoken] Here's Snoopy, the world famous author proving once more his masterful command of the English language! Why not? I have the time I got the talent I got the typewriter I got the plot! I - T, it Sometimes we writers take hours Finding exactly the right word It, it, it, it (sung) It was a dark and stormy morning Packed, flat, trite It was a dark and stormy evening It was a dark and stormy night Night, right! When suddenly a shot was heard A shot was fired When suddenly a shot rang out Rang out Inspired The door slammed The maid screamed That's building suspense When suddenly a pirate ship Appears on the horizon Appears? Appeared Past tense While millions of people are starving While millions of people are starving While millions of people are starving What? Food! The King lived in luxury Now to thicken the plot Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas A boy was growing up Masterful ol' pup Brillantly done You son of a gun Writing is fun End of part one I'll tie all this together later in part two What's that wonderful smell? Don't tell me Let me guess Smells like money dipped in honey Yes, the smell of success Take a good whiff Take a good sniff Pay me a lump that's due Fame and fortune Fortune and fame And now, for part two A light snow was falling And the little girl Small, no Little, no, small No, the little girl Ah, with the tatted shawl Had not sold a flower all day Ah, should she be selling matches? Ah, no, flowers A violet let's say She had not sold a violet all day At that very moment A young intern was making An important discovery The mysterious patient in room Twenty-three had suddenly awakened She moaned softly Could it be that she was the sister Of the boy in Kansas Who loved the girl with the tatted shawl Who was the daughter of the maid Who had escaped from the pirates? The intern frowned... That has a good ring to it Just see how neatly it all fits together [CHARLIE BROWN, spoken] What about the King? [SNOOPY] Stampede, the foreman shouted And forty thousand head of cattle Up and down the tiny ramp Two men rolled on the ground Rattling beneath the murderous hooves A left, and a right, and a left, and another left, and right Isn't this exciting? An upper cut to the jaw The fight was over And so the ranch was saved Sometimes when you're a great writer, the words come so fast, you can hardly put 'em down on paper There's that wonderful smell called Eau de happiness Smells like money Dipped in honey Yes, the smell of success Take a good whiff Take a good sniff Why stop at one, be rude Fame and fortune Fortune and fame And now To conclude... The young intern, sat by himself In the corner of the coffee shop Now, zing in the moral old friend He had learned about medicine But, more important is He had learned about life! The, the, the, the, the... Oh! The End!
