VIDEO AND SONG: SNOOPY FOREVER:
—
IF PALESTINE, JORDAN & SYRIA
ISRAEL AND LEBANON
ALL FORMED A COUNTRY
IT’D BE REALLY COOL
AND IF EGYPT NEXT DOOR
WAS A REALLY GOOD PAL
THEY MIGHT EVEN GIVE YOU
THE SUEZ CANAL
IF PALESTINE, JORDAN AND SYRIA
ISRAEL AND LEBANON
REALLY FORMED A COUNTRY
IT’D HAVE TO HAVE A NAME
THE MAP OF THE NEW COUNTRY
KINDA LOOKS LIKE SNOOPY
SO YOU COULD CALL IT SNOOPY
ALTHOUGH THAT DOESN’T SOUND
STATELY AND PROUD
BUT WE GOTTA CALL IT SOMETHING
SO LET’S JUST CALL IT SNOOPY FOR NOW
SNOOPY FOREVER
PROUD AND BRAVE
EVERYBODY FED
NO ONE A SLAVE
ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE
AND BE FREE
OF THEE WE SING
SNOOPY
SNOOPY’S COASTLINE
IS DAMN NEAR MAURITANIA’S
IS DAMN NEAR HALF OF ITALY’S
ON THE MEDITERRANEAN
SYRIA, LEBANON, ISRAEL AND GAZA
MAKES A COASTLINE DAMN NEAR
GAZA TO ANTASKYA
PREVIOUSLY LANDLOCKED JORDANIANS
COULD GET SOME GOOD SEA AIR
COULD SELL KITES AND SAND PAILS AND TAFFY
DOWN ALONG THE RED SEA
IF EGYPT’S A REALLY GOOD PAL
AND GIVES SNOOPY THE SUEZ CANAL
SNOOPY FOREVER
PROUD AND BRAVE
EVERYBODY FED
NO ONE A SLAVE
ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE
AND BE FREE
OF THEE WE SING
SNOOPY
PALESTINE, JORDAN AND SYRIA
ISRAEL AND LEBANON
OUGHTA FORM A COUNTRY
IT’D BE REALLY FUN
I’M GUESSING THAT SNOOPY
WOULD DO PRETTY WELL IN THE OLYMPICS
AND MAYBE THEY’D MAKE TENNIS PLAYERS
INSTEAD OF BOMBS
This song is absolutely the best thing ever written about the conflicts in the Middle East. I about died when I heard you play it last summer at WoodyFest, and I’ve shared it with a bunch of people since then. When I get overwhelmed with despair about seemingly endless violence and war, I just listen to “Snoopy” and I can find a smile and joy again. Thank you. 🙏❤️😂😇
Love love love this Dan! Been trying to wrap my head around all this stuff, and you nailed it.
On another note, I wonder if I could get a Summer internship with Snoopy selling sand pails and taffy… and who knows, maybe there would be a small niche market for Cellocaster’s?
