Poor Sweet Baby

[PEPPERMINT PATTY, spoken]
Chuck, What kind of girl do you think you'll marry?

[CHARLIE BROWN, spoken]
Well, I always kinda hate to talk about it; I'm afraid that it might sound silly, but I'd like the kind of girl that would call me "Poor sweet baby."

[PEPPERMINT PATTY, spoken]
Poor sweet baby?

[CHARLIE BROWN, spoken]
Uh-huh. If I was feeling tired or depressed or something, she'd cuddle up close to me and kiss me on the ear and whisper "Poor sweet baby."

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
Poor sweet baby
Poor, poor, sweet, sweet baby
Show me where it hurts, I'll tell you how to make it well
I've won lots of loving cups for playing show and tell

My poor sweet baby
Poor, poor, sweet, sweet baby
When you neeed a shoulder, come and try mine on for size
I'm real good at holding hands and
Really great at drying eyes!

Just try me, cry me
All your tears
Why deny me
The pleasure of dryin' 'em
Stoppin' you cryin' 'em?

Don't despair, for
Smiles are what I'm there for!
You won't have to call on me, I'll always be right near
Here to kiss and cuddle you and
Whisper in your little ear
Don't fear !

There, there, baby
Poor, sweet baby
Poor, sweet baby
Mama's here!

[PEPPERMINT PATTY, spoken]
Like that, Chuck?

[CHARLIE BROWN, spoken]
Just like that, Patty

[PEPPERMINT PATTY, spoken]
Forget it, it'll never happen!
