Clark Gesner - You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (Off-Broadway) lyrics

[LINUS, spoken] 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 [CHARLIE BROWN, spoken] But I am five. I'm more than five [LINUS, spoken] Oh. Well, that's the way it goes [SALLY, spoken] The only thing wrong with Charlie Brown is his lack of confidence. His inferiority and his lack of confidence. His clumsiness, his inferiority, and his lack of confidence. His stupidity, his clumsiness, his inferiority... [SCHROEDER, spoken] Do 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, spoken] Now Linus, I want you to take a good look at Charlie Brown's face. Would you please hold still a minute, Charlie Brown. This is what you call a Failure Face. Notice how it has failure written all over it. Study it carefully, Linus, you rarely get to see such a good example. Notice the deep lines, the vacant express in the eyes... Yes, I would say this is one of the finest examples of a Failure Face you're gonna see for a long while [CHARLIE BROWN, spoken] Some days I wake up early to watch the sunrise, and I think how beautiful it is, and how my whole 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? [ALL, except Charlie Brown, begin to mime band, imitating orchestra trumpets and drums] [SNOOPY] Woof! [BOYS] Boom! [ALL except Charlie Brown, sung] 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! [BOYS] Boom! [ALL] 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, spoken] You are kind [ALL] You are kind to all the animals and ev'ry little bird With a heart of gold, you believe what you're told [LUCY] Ev'ry 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 [ALL] That you're a good man, Charlie Brown Da da da... [Imitating instruments] [SNOOPY] Woof! [BOYS] Boom! [ALL] 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! [LUCY, spoken] If only you weren't so wishy-washy
