Was assistant animator Stod Herbert a lyricist, too?

A Google search for "Stod Herbert" turned up, in addition to credits on several Ralph Bakshi features, this item from the sheet music collection at the San jose library:

Title: Baby What I'm Gonna Do To You
Composer(s)/Lyricist(s)/Arranger(s): Deranja, Jack; Ciarocchi, Gene; Herbert, Stod
Music type: Piano
Notes:

Not much beyond the name to connect animation Stod to the Stod of song. (Searches on the ACAP and BMI websites came up empty,) Still, this drawing makes me wonder.
