Stanley Wayne Mathis - 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 [SNOOPY] It's truly a dog's life. A life of challenges—You try acting excited when that round-headed kid comes home from school. [SALLY] 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] 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] 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 could anything go wrong on a day like this? [Alarm rings] 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 courteous [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 But I lie awake at night (Never sleep) With questions in my ear (Loud and deep) I want to join the dance (Take the leap) [CHARLIE BROWN] But the answer isn't clear Then I hear: [OTHERS] Charlie Brown... Charlie Brown... You're a good man, Charlie Brown (You're a good man, Charlie Brown) You're a good man, Charlie Brown [Horn beeps] [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] 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 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! You could be ​king Believe it And you were born for this part You're a good man You're a good man, Charlie Brown! [LUCY/SCHROEDER] You're a good man Charlie Brown You're a good man Charlie Brown [CHARLIE BROWN] I don't understand "Nothing lasts forever" "All good things must end" I've memorized that phrase by ​heart So tell me I need to know it... When do the good things start? [LINUS/SALLY] Bravely facing adversity You can open up any door [ALL] You're a good man Charlie Brown!
