You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
Your're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
I really don't think you have anything
to worry about, Charlie Brown. After all, science
has shown that a person's character isn't really
established until he's at least five years old.

The only thing wrong with my big brother,
Charlie Brown, is his lack of confidence; his
inferiority and lack of confidence. His clumsiness,
his inferiority, his lack of confidence. His stupidity
his clumsiness, his inferiority and his lack of
confidence, his...
SCHROEDER (overlapping)
Did you know that Charlie Brown has never pitched
a winning baseball game, never been able to keep
a kite in the air, never won a game of checkers and
never successfully punted a football? Sometimes I
marvel at his consistency.
LUCY (overlapping)
Now Charlie Brown has what you call a
Failure Face, Linus. Notice how it has failure
written all over it. Study it carefully. You rarely
see such a good example.
CHARLIE BROWN (overlapping)
Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise, and
I think how beautiful it is, and how my life lies
before me, and I get a very positive feeling about
things. Like this morning for instance; the sky's
so clear and the sun's so bright. How can anything
go wrong on a day like this?
I'm late!
SNOOPY
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
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...
Every single solitary word
OTHERS
You bravely face adversity
You're cheerful through the day
You're thoughtful
Brave and couteous
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 (overlapping)
Never sleep
CHARLIE BROWN
With questions in my ear
OTHERS (overlapping)
loud and deep
CHARLIE BROWN
I want to join the dance
OTHERS(overlapping)
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
Get on the bus
Go ahead, get on the bus, Charlie Brown!
Don't wanna be late for school!
OTHERS
That's right!
CHARLIE BROWN
Don't wanna be late!
Don't wanna be late for school!

OTHERS
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
CHARLIE BROWN(overlapping)
There they go again
Don't know what they mean
I'm not good,
I'm not bad
I'm somewhere
In between
SNOOPY
OTHERS
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown
CHARLIE BROWN(overlapping)
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(overlapping)
Nothing lasts forever
OTHERS
You could be king
CHARLIE(overlapping)
All good things must end
I've memorized
That phrase by heart.
So tell me,
I need to know it...
OTHERS
Believe it
And you were born for this part
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(overlapping)
Bravely facing
Adversity
You can open up
SNOOPY(overlapping)
Oh, You're a good man
LUCY/SCHROEDER(overlapping)
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown
You're ad good man,
Charlie Brown!
