Opening/You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown (1999)

[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!
