2. SCHROEDER

LUCYD'ya know something, Schroeder?I think the way you play the piano is nice.D'ya know something else?It's always been my dreamThat I'd marry a man who plays the piano.

At parties he'd play something nice like"April Showers."I'm sure you could play something nice like"April Showers."Or even "Frere Jacques."Beethoven's nice too.

Just imagineWhat would you think if someday you and I should get married?Wouldn't you like that if someday we two should get married?

My aunt Marion was right, never try to discuss marriage with a musician.

3. SNOOPY

SNOOPYThey like me. I think they're swell.Isn't it remarkableHow things turn out so well?

Page 6: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

Pleasant day, pretty skyLife goes on, here I lieNot bad, not bad at all.

Cozy home, board and bedSturdy roof beneath my headNot bad, not bad at all.

Faithful friendsAlways near me,Bring me bones,Scratch my ear

Little birdsCome to cheer meEv'ry daySitting here,On my stomachWith their sharp little clawsWhich are usually cold,And occasionally painful,And sometimes there are so manyThat I can hardly stand it...

Rats!

I feel ev'ry now and thenThat I gotta bite someone.I know ev'ry now and then what I wanna be.A fierce jungle animal crouched on the limbOf a tree

GIRLS(offstage)La la la la la la la la la la la la la

SNOOPYLa la la la la la la la la la la la laI'd stay very very stillTill I see a victim come.I'd wait knowing very well ev'ry second counts.And then like the fierce jungle creature I amI would pounce!I'd pounce!I'd punce!I'd-

You know, I never realized it was so far down to the ground from up here.

Let me see, where was I?Oh, that's right, the pretty sky,

Page 7: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

Not bad, not bad at all.

Cozy home, board and bedSturdy roof beneath my headNot bad, not bad at all.Not bad, not bad at all.

I wonder if it will snow tonight.

4. MY BLANKET AND ME

LINUSMmmm.Delightful.Mmmm.

Sucking your thumb without a blanket-is like eating a cone without ice cream!

My blanket and me

LUCYLook at my little baby brother, Linus, with is little baby blanket.

SALLYThere's your baby brother with his silly little blanket.

LUCYWell, you know how babies are with their balnkets.

LINUSWhaddya mean?It's a cozy sanctuaryBut it's far from necessaryCause I'm just as self-reliant as beforeAs a simple demonstrationOf my independent stationI will go and leave my blanket on the floorYes I'll walk away and leave itThough I know you won't believe itI'll just walk away and leave it on the floor

Yes, I'll walkAwayAndLeaveItOn

Page 8: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

The...

Aarrrggghh!

Don't ever let me do that again.

LUCYYou're a hopeless case, Linus...LINUSI thought I could do it...I actually thought I could do it.

It's foolish, I know itI'll try to outgrow itBut meanwhileIt's my blanket...

LUCYAnd me.

SALLYAnd me.

CHARLIE BROWNAnd me.

SCHROEDERAnd me.

LINUSAndMe.

5. THE KITE

CHARLIE BROWNLittle more speed, little more rope,Little more wind, little more hope,Gotta get this stupid kite to fly.Gotta make sure it doesn't snagDoesn't droop, doesn't dragGotta watch out for ev'ry little- whoops!

Little less speed, little more tack,Little less rise, little more slack,Gotta keep my wits about me now.Gotta make sure it doesn't get the nest of meTill I get it in the air somehow.

Page 9: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

Millions of little kids do it ev'ry dayThey make a kite and-"poof"- it's in the sky.Leave it to me to have the one fool kiteWho likes to see a little kid cry.

Little less talk, little more skill,Little less luck, little more will,Gotta face this fella eye to eye.Now that I've seen you chasing moles,Climbing trees, digging holes,Catching your string on everything passing byWhy not fly?

Wait a minute,What's it doing?It isn't on the ground.It isn't in a tree.It's in the air!Looat at that.It's caught the breeze now,It's past the trees nowWith room to spare...

Oh-What a beautiful sight.And I'm not such a clumsy guy.If I really tryI can really Fly a ki-

6. THE DOCTOR IS IN

CHARLIE BROWNOh, Lucy. I'm so depressed. I don't know what to do.

LUCYI think what you need most of all, Charlie Brown, is to comeright out and admit all of the things that are wrong with you.

CHARLIE BROWNAll right, I'll tryI'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 baseballOr 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,

Page 10: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

Or I don't bring a present, or I spill the ice creamOr I get so depressed that I stand and I scream...

Oh, how could there possibly beOne small person as thoroughly, totally, uttlerlyBlah as me.

LUCYWell, that's ok for a starter.

CHARLIE BROWNA starter?

LUCYCertainly. You don't think that mentioning these few superficialfailings 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 BROWNI'm moody

LUCYYou're terribly dull to be with

CHARLIE BROWNYes I am.And nobody likes me,Not Frieda, or Shermy, or Linus, or Schroeder-

LUCYOr Lucy.

CHARLIE BROWNOr Lucy.

LUCYOr Snoopy.

CHARLIE BROWNOr Sn-Wait a minute. Snoopy likes me.

LUCYHe only pretends to like you becaus eyou feed him.That doesn't count.

CHARLIE BROWNOr Snoopy.Oh why- was I born just to be

One small person as thoroughly, totally, utterly-

LUCYWait!You're not very much of a person...

CHARLIE BROWNThat's certain

LUCYAnd yet there's a reason for hope.

CHARLIE BROWNThere's hope?

LUCYFor although you are no good at music,Like Schroeder, or happy like Snoopy,Or lovely like me,You have the distinction to beNo one else but the singular, remarkable, uniqueCharlie Brown.

CHARLIE BROWNI'm me!

LUCYYes- it's amazingly true,For whatever it's worth, Charlie Brown,You're you.

CHARLIE BROWNGosh, Lucy you know something. I'm beginning to feel better already. You're a true friend, Lucy, a true friend.

LUCYThat'll be five cents, please.

It reminded me of "Robin Hood"And the part where Little John jumped from the rockTo the Sheriff of Nottingham's back.And then Robin and everyone swung from the treesIn a sudden surprise attack.And they captured the sheriff and all of his goodsAnd they carried him back to their camp in the woodsAnd the sheriff was guest at their dinner and allBut he wriggled away and he sounded the callAnd his men rushed in and the arrows flew-Peter Rabbit did sort of that kind of thing too.

LUCYThe other people's name was Macgregor.(counts to 23)Ohh!

LinusIn examining a book such as Peter Rabbit, it is important thatthe superficial chracteristics of its deceptively simple plotshould not be allowed to blind the reader to the more substancialfabric of its deeper motivations. In this report I plan to discuss the sociological implications of family pressures sogreat as to drive an otherwise moral rabbit to perform acts of thievery which he consciously knew were against the law. I also hope to explore the personlaity of Mr.Macgregor in his comflicting roles as farmer and humanitarian.

Peter Rabbit is established from the start as a benevolent heroand it is only...

SALLY"oh, yeah. That's what you think."

SCHROEDERWhat?

SALLYThat's my new philosophy: "Oh, yeah? That's what you think!"

SCHROEDERWell, why are you telling me?

SALLYWhat?

SCHROEDERWhy are you telling me?

SALLY"Why are you telling me?" I like it!That's a good philosophy: "Why are you telling me?"Why are you telling me?"

"Why are you telling me?"My new philosophyThe teacher gave a "D" on last week's homeworkShe said, "Miss Sally Brown,Your grades are going down."I could have told her-

SCHROEDERYou new philosophy?

SALLYMy new philosophy!(as teacher)Miss B?(as herself)I'm she

Look see.A "D?"A "D."Well, why are telling me?And that's my new philosophy!

SCHROEDERThat's your new philosophy?

SALLYWhy are you telling me?My new philosophy!

SCHROEDERThat's great, Sally, but I've gotta go practive Chopin'sNocturne in B-Flat minor.

SALLYNo!! I like it! "No!" That's a good philosophy."No!" "No!" "No!"

SCHROEDERThat's you new philosophy, huh?

SALLYYes. I mean-- "No!"Just like a bust beeEach new philosophyCan fly from tree to tree and keep me movingWhen life's a dizzy mazeOn alternating daysI choose a different phrase-

SCHROEDER

Page 21: 1. YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN I really don't …sosinglese.eu/.../uploads/2016/09/Youre-a-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown … · OTHERS You're a good man, CHarlie Brown And we know you

Your new philosophy?

SALLYMy new philosophy!

SCHROEDERSally!Some philosophies are simple:"Man does not eat by bread alone."Some philosophies are clear:

SALLY"Leave your message at the sound of the tone."

BOTH Some philosophies pick and chooseDeciding what goes in it.

SCHROEDERSome take a lifetime,

SALLYMine take a minute.

SCHROEDERBut, Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't bevery lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two yearsto complete his brilliant Ninth SYmphony.

SALLY"No!"

SCHROEDERI can't stand it!

SALLY"I can't stand it!" I like it!It's like a gurantee.My new philosophy.And things are sure to be a whole ot brighter"Oh, yeah? That's what you think!""Why are you telling me?""No!""I can't stand it!"Now life is free and easy,Much more philosophy-zy,With my brand new-

You know, someone had said that we should live every day as if it were the last day of our life.

CHARLIE BROWNDear Pen pal...You'll never guess what happened todayAt the baseball game.It's hard to believe, what happened todayAt the baseball game.I was the manager, Schroeder was catcherAnd all of the team was the same as alwaysBut somehow or other disaster struck At the baseball game.Huddle up!

LUCYI got it!

LINUSI got it!

SCHROEDERI got it!

SNOOPYWoof woof woof!

LUCY(to Charlie Brown)I thought you had it

CHARLIE BROWNThree balls, two strikes,The bases were loaded with two men outI pitched my curve, but somehow they hit itA good strong clout"Lucy" I hollered, "It's coming right to you"-She caught it as easy as pie-- then dropped it.I don't think it's good for a team's moraleTo see their manager cry.

Snoopy helped out by biting the runnerAnd catching the ball in his teeth;Linus caught flies from a third-story windowBy holding his blanket beneath.

12. LITTLE KNOW FACTS

LUCYDo you see that tree?it is a Fir tree.It's called a Fir tree because it gives us fur,For coats,It also gives us wool in the wintertime.

LINUSI never knew that before, Lucy. That's very interesting.

LUCYThis is an elm tree.It's very little.But it will grow up into a giant tree,An oak.You can tell how old it is by counting it's leaves.

LINUSGosh, Lucy, that's fascinating.

CHARLIE BROWNNow wait a minute, Lucy. I don't mean to interfere, but-

LUCYAnd way up there,Those fluffy little whit things, Those are clouds,They make the wind blow.And way down there,Those tiny little black things,Those are bugs,They make the grass grow.

LINUSIs that so?

LUCYThat's right. They run around all day long, tugging andtugging at each tiny seedling until it grows into a greattall blade of grass.

LINUSBoy, that's interesting.

CHARLIE BROWNOh, good grief.

LUCYAnd this thing here.It's called a hydrant.They grow all over, And no one seems to knowJust howA little thing like thatGives so much water.

D'you see that bird?It's called an Eagle,But since it's little it has another name,A Sparrow,

And on Christmas and Thanksgiving We eat them.

CHARLIE BROWNLucy, how can you say that?! I'm sorry, but I can't standidly by and listen to-

LUCYAnd way up there,The little stars and planets,Make the rain,That falls in showers.And when it's cold and winter is upon us,The snow comes up,Just like the flowers.

CHARLIE BROWNNow, Lucy, I know that's wrong. Snow doesn't come up,it comes down.

LUCYAfter it comes up, the wind blows it around so it looks like it's coming down but actually it comes upout of the ground- like grass. It comes up, Charlie Brown,snow comes up!

CHARLIE BROWNOh, good grief!

LINUSLucy, why is Charlie Brown banging his head againstthat tree?

LUCYTo loosen the bark to make the tree grow faster.Clouds can make the wind blowBugs can make the grass growSo, there you goThese are little known factsThat nowYou know!
