[SNOOPY]
Woof!
[ALL (except Charlie Brown)]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're the kind of reminder we need
You have humility, nobility and a sense of honor that is very
Rare indeed.
[SNOOPY]
Woof!
[OTHERS]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
And we know you will go very far
Yes it's hard to believe
Almost frightening to conceive
What a good man you are.
[SCHROEDER]
You are kind.
[OTHERS]
You are kind to all the animals
And every little bird
With a heart of gold
You believe what you're told...
[LUCY]
Every single solitary word
[OTHERS]
You bravely face adversity
You're cheerful through the day
You're thoughtful
Brave and courteous
[LUCY]
And you also have some faults
But for the moment let's just say
[OTHERS]
That you're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're a prince
And a prince could be king
With a heart such as yours
You could open any doors
You could go out and do anything
You could be King Charlie Brown
You could be king!
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Everybody says to me:
[OTHERS]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Every voice in harmony
[OTHERS]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
[CHARLIE BROWN]
All I need is one more try
Gotta get that kite to fly
And I'm not the kind of guy who gives up easily
Wonder why they stop to say:
[OTHERS]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Never liked me, anyway
[OTHERS]
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Trying not to rock the boat
Not to make a scene
A good man? Yes
But I confess
I don't know what they mean
I wanna rise like I should
And do everything right
But I lie awake at night... ([OTHERS] Oooh Never sleep)
With questions in my ear ([OTHERS] Oooh Loud and deep)
I want to join the dance ([OTHERS] Oooh Take the leap)
[CHARLIE BROWN]
But the answer isn't clear.
Than I hear:
[OTHERS]
Charlie Brown... Charlie Brown...
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're a good man, Charlie Brown
[SCHROEDER]
Get on the bus
[LUCY]
Get on the bus
[LINUS]
Go ahead, get on the bus, Charlie Brown!
[SALLY]
Don't wanna be late for school!
[OTHERS]
That's right!
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Don't wanna be late!
[ALL]
Don't wanna be late for school!
[SNOOPY]
Woof!
[OTHERS]
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown ([CHARLIE BROWN] There they go again)
You're the kind
Of reminder we need ([CHARLIE BROWN] Don't know what they mean)
You have humility,
Nobility,([CHARLIE BROWN] I'm not good,)
And a sense of honor ([CHARLIE BROWN] I'm not bad)
That is very rare indeed ( [CHARLIE BROWN]I'm somewhere In between)
[SNOOPY]
Woof!
[OTHERS]
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown ([CHARLIE BROWN] I don't understand)
You're a prince
And a prince could be king
With a heart such as yours
You could open any doors
You could go out
And do anything
You could be King, Charlie Brown
You could be King!
[CHARLIE BROWN]
"Nothing lasts forever" ([OTHERS] You could be king)
"All good things must end" ([OTHERS] Believe it)
I've memorized
That phrase by heart. ([OTHERS] And you were born for this part)
So tell me, ([OTHERS] You're a good man,)
I need to know it...
[OTHERS]
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown!
[CHARLIE]
When do the
Good things start?
[LUCY/SCHROEDER]
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown ([LINUS/SALLY]Bravely facing Adversity)
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown ([LINUS/SALLY] You can open up that you know it)
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown ([LINUS/SALLY] Always time that you know it)
[ALL]
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown!
