Reva Rose - Little Known Facts lyrics

LUCY: Do you see this tree? It is a fir tree It's calles a fir tree because it gives us fur for coats It also gives us wool in the winter time 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 Tugging and tugging on each tiny seedling until it grows into a great tall blade of gra**! LINUS: Boy, that's amazing! 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 Gets so much water See that bird? It's called an eagle Since it's little it has another name A sparrow And on Christmas and Thanksgiving We eat them CHARLIE BROWN: Lucy, how could you say that? I'm sorry but I can't stand idly by and listen to... LUCY: And way up there The little stars and planets Make the rain that falls and 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, just like gra**. It comes up Charlie Brown, snow comes up! CHARLIE BROWN: Oh, Good Grief! (He exits, from off stage there is a hollow thumping sound.) LINUS: Why is Charlie Brown banging his head against that tree? LUCY: To loosen the bark to make the tree grow faster!
