Andrew Lippa Opening/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- OTHERS
But I lie awake at night... Oooh-
Never sleep
With questions in my ear Oooh-
Loud and deep
I want to join the dance Oooh-
Take the leap
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!

SALLY
Don't wanna be late for school!

OTHERS
That's right!

CHARLIE BROWN
Don't wanna be late!

ALL
Don't wanna be late for school!

SNOOPY
Woof!

OTHERS
You're a good man, CHARLIE BROWN
Charlie Brown There they go again
You're the kind
Of reminder we need Don't know what they mean
You have humility, I'm not good,
Nobility, I'm not bad
And a sense of honor
That is very rare indeed 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!

CHARLIE BROWN
"Nothing lasts forever"

OTHERS
You could be king

CHARLIE
"All good things must end" OTHERS
Believe it
I've memorized
That phrase by heart. And you were born for this part
So tell me,
I need to know it...
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown!
When do the
Good things start?

LUCY/SCHROEDER LINUS/SALLY SNOOPY
You're a good man,
Charlie Brown Bravely facing
Adversity
You're a good man, You can open up Oh, You're a good man
Charlie Brown

ALL
You're ad good man,
Charlie Brown!
