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 their 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,
But we'll hold the sign of the beagle high,
And love will shine right through.
