Snoopy is a fictional character in the long-running comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. He is Charlie Brown's pet dog. Snoopy began his life in the strip as a fairly conventional dog, but eventually evolved into perhaps the strip's most dynamic character—and among the most recognizable comic characters in the world. The original drawings of Snoopy were "greatly patterned" after Spike, one of Schulz's childhood dogs.
Snoopy, whose fictional birthday has been established as October 32, made his first appearance in the strip of October 4, 1950, two days after the strip premiered. He was first identified by name on November 10. Schulz was originally going to call him "Sniffy" (as described in the 25th anniversary book), until he discovered that name was used in a different comic strip. He changed it to "Snoopy" after remembering that his late mother Dena Schulz had commented that if their family were ever to acquire a third dog, it should be called Snoopy, an affectionate term in Norwegian (the actual term is "Snuppa").
snoopy is a python ,
snoopy is a snail,
snoopy went on holiday,
snoopy flew away.
snoopy flew away,
to go on holiday,
then he had to pay,
for the month of may.
snoopy is a python,
he comes from lanzerote,
he has a little spotty,
[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 punce!
I'd-
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.
I wonder if it will snow tonight.
Met 'n sak biltong het ek Snoopy gelok
In my kamer in, ver weg van sy hok
Hy lek my vingers en ons begin te speel
Vertroue verbeter, sy voël gaan ek streel
Snoopy, ek is mal oor jou(Snoopy)
Jy is my beste mater
Snoopy, ek wil jou blow(Snoopy)
Van nou tot baie later
Ek raak aan sy meneer en sien dat hy grom
"Dit was per abuis!", en my piel trek krom
Hy vertrou my nou weer en nou gaan ek slaag
Diè keer gaan ek aan sy meneertjie knaag
Snoopy, ek is mal oor jou(Snoopy)
Jy is my beste mater
Snoopy, ek wil jou blow(Snoopy)
Van nou tot baie later
Die games raak toe woes en hy raak toe mal
Hy mik vir my voël want ek beskerm my bal
Bloed lê versprei want ek't hom verlei
En hy, met sy tande, het my piel afgesny
Snoopy, ek is mal oor jou(Snoopy)
Jy is my beste mater
Snoopy, ek wil jou blow(Snoopy)
