B.D. Wong - Little Known Facts lyrics

Lucy: Do you see this tree? It is a fir tree It's called a fir tree because it gives us fur for coats It also gives us wool in the wintertime Linus: I never knew that before, Lucy. That's very interesting Lucy: This is an elm tree. It's very little But it will grow up into a giant tree, an oak You can tell how old it is by counting it's leaves Linus: Gosh, Lucy, that's fascinating Charlie Brown: Now wait a minute, Lucy. I don't mean to interfere, but- Lucy: And way up there, those fluffy little white things Those are clouds, they make the wind blow And way down there, those tiny little black things Those are bugs, they make the gra** grow Linus: Is that so? Lucy: That's right. They run around all day long, tugging and tugging at each tiny seedling until it grows into a great tall blade of gra** Linus: Boy, that's interesting Charlie Brown: Oh, good grief Lucy: And this thing here. It's called a hydrant. They grow all over And no one seems to know just how a little thing like that gives so much water D'you see that bird? It's called an eagle But since it's little it has another name, a sparrow And on Christmas and Thanksgiving, we eat them Charlie Brown: Lucy, how can you say that?! I'm sorry, but I can't stand by and listen to- Lucy: And way up there, the little stars and planets Make the rain, that falls in showers And when it's cold and winter is upon us The snow comes up, just like the flowers Charlie Brown: Now, Lucy, I know that's wrong. Snow doesn't come up, it comes down Lucy: After it comes up, the wind blows it around so it looks like it's coming down but actually it comes up out of the ground- like gra**. It comes up, Charlie Brown, snow comes up! Charlie Brown: Oh, good grief! Linus: Lucy, why is Charlie Brown banging his head against that tree? Lucy: To loosen the bark to make the tree grow faster Clouds can make the wind blow Bugs can make the gra** grow So, there you go These are little known facts that now you know!
