| Sometimes, a version with 'in 1968' removed is heard. This is a edit by the record company. I found one on a Snoopy's ChristmasCD--one that had various forms of packageing. (Tim P. Ryan) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Snoopy For President
1968
The Royal Guardsmen
(The original single version of this song featured a spoken
introduction by "The Red Baron," mentioning the then-current presidential candidates for the 1968 election. Unfortunately, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated just days after the record had already been shipped to stores. Later pressings eliminated the spoken intro.)
Written by Phillip A. Gernhard, Dick Holler, and Arnold Lee
Shapiro
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
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
"Mein friend, vee meet again!"
Some wear the sign of the elephant and some wear the sign of
the mule (Marcus Tee) |
