Clark Gesner, B.D. Wong, Ilana levine, Anthony Rapp - Little Known Facts (1999) lyrics

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

I never knew that before
Lucy that's very interesting

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

Gosh, Lucy, that's fascinating

Now wait a minute, Lucy I
Don't mean to interfere, but

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 grass grow

Is that so?

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 grass

Boy, that's amazing!

Oh, good grief

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

Lucy, how can you say that?! I'm sorry
But I can't stand by and listen to

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

Now, Lucy, I know that's wrong
Snow doesn't come up, it comes down!

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 grass it comes up, Charlie Brown
Snow comes up!

Oh, good grief!

Lucy, why is Charlie Brown banging
His head against that tree?

To loosen the bark to make
The tree grow faster
Clouds can make the wind blow
Bugs can make the grass grow
So, there you go
These are little known facts
That now you know!
