SNOOPY FOR PRESIDENT
Tom Mazanec

Nearly two years to go and already we are having candidates for the election of 2008. Various cartoon characters have run for President, including Alvin, Popeye and Snoopy.
If I were a member of the Cartoon Party, I would favor Snoopy...the other two would be loose cannons, IMHO.
 
SNOOPY FOR PRESIDENT
The Royal Guardsmen
 
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 hand upon their hearts
But soon the noble promises were hard to tell apart
Waiting at the pumpkin patch the Pumpkin reared and raved
And everybody hoped that soon the country he would save
The Pumpkin said the time had come for you to take a stand
For love has left the people across our native land
 
REFRAIN
Some wore the sign of the elephant
And some wore 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
And 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
 
REFRAIN
 
New York state was looking bad till Snoopy made a speech
Soon Illinois and Tennessee were both within his reach
He won the vote in Oregon but time was running thin
And back at the convention hall the votes were pouring 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 we meet again!"
 
REFRAIN with background
"Introducing the new President of the United States of America, Snoopy" and cheers
REFRAIN
