[CHARLIE BROWN]
Oh, Lucy. I'm so depressed. I don't know what to do
[LUCY]
I think what you need most of all, Charlie Brown, is to come
Right out and admit all of the things that are wrong with you
[CHARLIE BROWN]
All right, I'll try
I'm not very handsome or clever, or lucid
I've always been stupid at spelling and numbers
I've never been much playing football ir baseball
Or stickball, or checkers, or marbles, or ping-pong
I'm usually awful at parties and dances
I stand like a stick or I cough, or I laugh
Or I don't bring a present, or I spill the ice cream
Or I get so depressed that I stand and I scream...
Oh, how could there possibly be
One small person as thoroughly, totally, uttlerly
Blah as me
[LUCY]
Well, that's ok for a starter
[CHARLIE BROWN]
A starter?
[LUCY]
Certainly. You don't think that mentioning these few superficial
Failings is going to do you any good, do you? Why, Charlie Brown
You really have to delve
You're stupid, self-centered and moody
[CHARLIE BROWN]
I'm moody
[LUCY]
You're terribly dull to be with
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Yes I am
And nobody likes me
Not Frieda, or Shermy, or Linus, or Schroeder-
[LUCY]
Or Lucy
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Lucy
[LUCY]
Or Snoopy
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Sn-
Wait a minute. Snoopy likes me
[LUCY]
He only pretends to like you becaus eyou feed him
That doesn't count
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Or Snoopy
Oh why- was I born just to be
One small person as thoroughly, totally, utterly-
[LUCY]
Wait!
You're not very much of a person...
[CHARLIE BROWN]
That's certain
[LUCY]
And yet there's a reason for hope
[CHARLIE BROWN]
There's hope?
[LUCY]
For although you are no good at music
Like Schroeder, or happy like Snoopy
Or lovely like me
You have the distinction to be
No one else but the singular, remarkable, unique
Charlie Brown
[CHARLIE BROWN]
I'm me!
[LUCY]
Yes- it's amazingly true
For whatever it's worth, Charlie Brown
You're you
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Gosh, Lucy you know something. I'm beginning to feel better already
You're a true friend, Lucy, a true friend
[LUCY]
That'll be five cents, please
