You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (song) (2024)

All: (Except Charlie Brown) You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
You're the kind of the reminder we need.
You have humility, nobility and a sense of honor.
That are very rare indeed.
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.
You are kind to all the animals
And ev'ry little bird.
With a heart of gold you believe what you're told.

Lucy: Every single solitary word.

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.

(They break into a boisterous march)

You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
You're a prince, and a prince could be king.
With a heart such as yours
You can open any doors,
You can go out and do anything.
You could be king, Charlie Brown,
You could be king!

Lucy: If only you weren't so wishy-washy.

(The music and the marchers disappear as quickly as they arrived, and as the sound of a jangling school bell cuts through the fading voices, Charlie Brown is left alone at center stage, seated, clutching a paper bag)

You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
You're the kind of the reminder we need.
You have humility, nobility
And a sense of honor that are very rare indeed

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.

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

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
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la-la!

You're a good man, Charlie Brown
You're a prince and a prince could be king
With a heart such as yours you can open any doors
You can go out and do anything!
You could be king Charlie Brown!
You could be king!

Lucy: If only you weren't so wishy-washy.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
You're the kind of the reminder we need.
You have humility, nobility
And a sense of honor that is very rare indeed

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.

You are kind to all the animals and every little bird.
With a heart of gold,

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, but the answer isn't clear.

Others (Overlapping): Oooh, never sleep.
Oooh, loud and deep.
Oooh, take the leap.

Charlie Brown: Than I hear,

Others: Charlie Brown... Charlie Brown...
Lucy: You're a good man, Charlie Brown,
Schroeder/Snoopy/Linus: 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.
You're the kind of reminder we need.
You have humility, nobility and a sense of honor that is very rare indeed.

Charlie Brown (Overlapping): There they go again.
Don't know what they mean.
I'm not good, I'm not bad,
I'm something in between.

Snoopy: Woof!

Others: You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown: I don't understand,

Others: 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 Brown: "All good things must end",

Others: Believe it.

Charlie Brown: I've memorized that phrase by heart.

Others: And you were born for this part.

Charlie Brown: So tell me.

Others: You're a good man.

Charlie Brown: I need to know it.

Others: You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Charlie Brown: When do the good things start?

Lucy/Schroeder (Overlapping): You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

Linus/Sally(Overlapping): Bravely facing adversity.
Always kind to the animals.

Snoopy: Oh, You're a good man.

All: You're a good man,
Charlie Brown!
