Lyrics: Clark Gesner
Music: Clark Gesner
Schroeder: Remember, this is a mood piece. We must paint a picture with music and words... and concentrate! (He blows the pitch pipe)
All: Ahhhh
Schroeder: Remember. . . adagio con brio!
All: Oh give me a home Where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play...
(Lucy: Give me my pencil!)
All: Where seldom is heard a discouraging word... (Linus: Not on your life!)
All: And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Sally: If you don't tell me what you told Lucy I'm just gonna scream! (Lucy: Give me my pencil you blockhead!!)
All: Home, home on the range!
Lucy: Give me my pencil! (Linus: No!)
All: Where the deer and the antelope play. (Linus: Not until you promise not to tell her!)
Lucy: What are you trying to do? Stifle my freedom of speech?
All: Where seldom is heard (Lucy: Give me my pencil!)
All: A discouraging word (Linus: No promise, no pencil!)
All: And the skies are not cloudy all day. (Lucy slips Sally the pencil, and Sally holds it up, teasing Linus) (Sally: What pencil? (She laughs))
Linus: No! All: Oh, give me a land... (Linus grabs the pencil back) (Linus: Give me that pencil!)
All: Where the bright diamond sand... (Sally: Linus, it just isn't fair!)
Schroeder: SING!!!
All: Flows leisurely down the stream! (Charlie Brown (to Linus): Why did you take Sally's pencil?)
(Linus: Aargh! (storms off)) All: Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along... (Sally (to Lucy): What did he call me?)
All: Like a maid in a heavenly dream... (Lucy: He said, he said you were... an enigma!)
Sally: An enigma? (Charlie Brown: An enigma?)
(Snoopy: An enigma?) All (except Sally):Home, home on the range... (Sally: Boy that makes me... What a terrible thing to call a...)
Sally: What's an enigma? Never mind! (storms off)
All: Where the deer and the...(Lucy: What's an enigma?) antelope... (Charlie Brown: What's an enigma?) Play! (Snoopy: What's an en- (no one else is next to him))
Lucy: Hey! He's still got my pencil! (storms off)
Charlie Brown and Schroeder: Where seldom is heard a discouraging word... (He sees he is alone, and leaves. Schroeder gives up.)
Schroeder: And the skies are not cloudy all day.
Snoopy: Arrro ooo ooo... (blows Schroeder a kiss)
