Clark Gesner - You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown lyrics

LINUS 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. SALLY (overlapping) 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 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 couteous 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... With questions in my ear I want to join the dance OTHERS Oooh Never sleep Oooh Loud and deep 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!

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 There they go again Don't know what they mean I'm not good, I'm not bad 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!
