Snoopy vs. Maverick

It's a little on the fast side. The runway’s buzzing, the tension is high A doghouse silhouette against the sky One’s got a scarf and a tail-wagging flair The other’s got ego and grease in his hair Maverick’s in the cockpit, pushing the throttle Snoopy’s got goggles, and a root beer bottle The F-18 is shrieking, a metal beast of prey But the Sopwith Camel’s flying the other way! It’s the Beagle of the clouds The Ace of the West Against the fighter pilot Put to the test Mach two vs. wood and wire The Red Baron’s nemesis Is breathing fire Snoopy’s doing loops Maverick’s doing rolls Two different pilots Two different goals Who’s gonna claim the victory dance? Taking it all on a pilot’s chance! Maverick’s got a lock, he’s tracking the beat I feel the need for speed, he says from his seat But Snoopy’s in a turn, he’s flat-spinning slow He’s seen the Red Baron, he’s seen the whole show G-forces pulling on the aviator’s suit While the Beagle’s just chilling, playing his flute Maverick screams Talk to me, Goose! But Snoopy’s got the whole world cut loose. In the Danger Zone or the doghouse roof They’re both looking for the ultimate proof Radar pings and a propeller spin Which kind of cool is gonna finally win? The supersonic streak or the dream in the clouds? Flying for glory and flying for crowds! It’s the Beagle of the clouds The Ace of the West Against the fighter pilot Put to the test Mach two vs. wood and wire The Red Baron’s nemesis Is breathing fire Snoopy’s doing loops Maverick’s doing rolls Two different pilots Two different goals Who’s gonna claim the victory dance? Taking it all on a pilot’s chance! Maverick lands, he’s shaking his head What was that plane? is all that he said And over in the yard, near the supper dish Snoopy’s just making a pilot’s wish Sunset fading, the sky turns gold Another legend, brave and bold
