rate me<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
Call the principal <br>
And hand him the news<br>
We've got a holiday<br>
That he can't refuse<br>
A day of harmony, <br>
A day of music:<br>
Beethoven's birthday!<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
Beethoven Day?<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
A reverential mission<br>
<br>
[LINUS]<br>
Beethoven Day?<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
The hope of each musician<br>
No more am I the only guy<br>
To stand up and say:<br>
<br>
Hooray, Beethoven,<br>
Hooray!<br>
<br>
[CHARLIE BROWN]<br>
Beethoven Day?<br>
<br>
[LINUS]<br>
Yes. As in Ludwig van Beethoven, composer. <br>
Born 1770, died 1827. The eldest of three sons, <br>
Ludwig's mother was the daughter of the chief overseer <br>
of the kitchen...<br>
<br>
[LUCY]<br>
Whatever... Schroeder, I just want you to know that <br>
I'm on your side. I want to help, publicity-wise, <br>
with Beethoven's Birthday.<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
Thank you for your support, but I just don't <br>
want to see Beethoven's birthday commercialized.<br>
<br>
[LUCY]<br>
Commercialized?<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
Yes. The next thing you know they'll be selling <br>
Beethoven sweatshirts.<br>
<br>
[SNOOPY (wearing a Beethoven sweatshirt)]<br>
Beethoven Day.<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
If you're wondering<br>
"Now, how do we start?"<br>
Just blow the music<br>
Til you know it by heart!<br>
We're gonna celebrate<br>
We'll throw a party<br>
Beethoven's Birthday!<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Beethoven Day!<br>

A polyphonic jumble<br>
A humble dedication as we<br>
Stand up and say:<br>

[LUCY]<br>

We'll start a chain or Beethoven superstores!<br>
<br>
[SALLY]<br>
We'll build a Beethoven theme park!<br>
<br>
[CHARLIE BROWN]<br>
We could have a bake sale!<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
Wait! That's too commercial!<br>
<br>
Let's imagine it.<br>
That glorious hour<br>
Filled with emotion<br>
Yet inspired with power<br>
When we all honor<br>
The man we adore<br>
On the day we place<br>
The newest face<br>
On Mount Rushmore!<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Mount Rushmore.<br>
Beethoven Day!<br>

[SCHROEDER]<br>
A moment of reflection<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Beethoven Day!<br>
<br>
[SCHROEDER]<br>
A classical injection!<br>
So facing this direction<br>
We begin it today<br>
A musical collection<br>
Everybody can play<br>
The right of every boy and girl<br>
To stand up and say:<br>
<br>
Hooray,<br>
Beethoven!<br>
<br>
Hooray!<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Beethoven hooray!<br>

Hooray!<br>
