Lyrics[]
- Sally: (Singing a cappella) I know now that you can't bend a cracker
- No matter how hard you try
- Sally and Peppermint Patty: You may try
- Peppermint Patty: I know now, that your body isn't leaking when you cry
- All Three: When you cry
- Lucy: I know now that a smile makes a lousy umbrella
- Sally & Peppermint Patty: Ooh, ooh, ooh,
- Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
- (SNOOPY reacts to the singing by covering his ears)
- Peppermint Patty: I know now we should not try to sing a cappella!
- (SNOOPY exits into the doghouse taking with him the catchers mitt. The song continues, now with orchestra accompaniment)
- Lucy: I know now that you can't trust a daisy
- They blab every chance they get.
- Sally: I know now, it's impossible to rain a violet
- Peppermint Patty: I know now that the price of a thought is a penny
- Sally: I know now why the kids never sell very many
- Lucy: If any.
- I know now that you can't bounce a snowball
- Peppermint Patty: You can ... but not very high ...
- All: Just think of it, gee ...
- How great it would be ...
- If I can go back somehow ...
- And have my life to live over ...
- Knowing what I know now.
- Lucy: I know now that you can't ring a bluebell
- Sally: Well, not loud enough to hear
- Peppermint Patty: I know now that a weeping willow never sheds a tear
- Sally: I know now that you can't trade a bike for a brother
- Lucy: I know now that you can't ever win with your mother
- Sally and Peppermint Patty: Or father
- All: Further ...
- I know now that you can't pack your troubles
- In any kit bag that's made ...
- Just think of it, gee ...
- How great it would be ...
- If I can go back somehow ...
- And have my life to live over ...
- Sally: Knowing what I know
- Peppermint Patty: Knowing what I know
- All: Knowing what I know now!
- Lucy: I know now that you can't lace a shoefly
- Sally: You can't live on bubble gum
- Peppermint Patty: I know now that I'll never learn to spell chrysanthemum
- Sally: I know now that you can´t buy a bike for a dollar
- Peppermint Patty: I know now that you can't fit a flee with a collar
- (Spoken) (Get it, Sally?)
- Lucy: I know now that you can't milk a cowslip
- Peppermint Patty: You can, but it takes know-how
- All: Just think of it, gee ...
- How great it would be ...
- If I can go back somehow ...
- And have my life to live over ...
- Knowing what I know,
- Knowing what I know,
- Knowing what I ... know ... now!
