When Do the Good Things Start?

[LUCY]
When do the good things start?
It better be soon
It's practically noon-time
And so for nothing, zero
Here I am!
Here, over here!
Stop taking all year!

[LINUS]
When do the good things start?
Assuming they do
Can anyone clue me?
If I am not mistaken
Somebody's taking their time
It looks like I'm
Stuck with my party hat

[LUCY]
Won't have no use for that noisemaker
No takers
Okay!

[LINUS]
I'm gonna close my eyes
And count up to ten
Then ask you again, World
Whatever fun you may have
What do ya say, have a heart!

[LINUS/LUCY]
When do the good things start?

[SALLY]
When do the good things start?
I'll pack a small case
The time and the place, please!
I think I'll wear my blue dress
Yellow, no, blue, yes!
I think, I'll wear my pink!

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
When do the good things start?
Don't wanna be late!
I gotta know straight out
I've got some gum I'd part with
If you don't start without me!
It's sugar-free!

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Hey where's the party at?
I'll get my party hat

[LUCY]
Forget it

[SNOOPY]
I bet it's for me!

[ALL, excluding SNOOPY, spoken]
No Beagles!

[SNOOPY]
When do the good things start?
Maybe they have
A bugle will travel
I'll wear my formal collar
Give me a holler, sweetheart!

[ALL}
When do the good things start?

[SNOOPY]
Break out the root beer
And in a few licks
You can teach this old dog new tricks
Won't need an invite
In like a flash, kid
All that it takes is a dash of panache, kid
When there's a party they beg me to crash, kid!

[CHARLIE BROWN]
When does the bus depart?
Don't go without me!
You know that I'll be there!

[SNOOPY]
Cause I'm a born free-loader
High ala-moater, big max!
And I make tracks!
Where's my lampshade?
I do a mean lampshade routine
Have my vamp played good and loud and
Clear the floor for me
One more root beer, than no more for me

[GIRLS (BOYS)]
I'm gonna close my eyes (Break out the root beer, And in a few licks)
And count up to ten (You can teach this old dog new tricks)
Then ask you again, World, (Won't need an invite, In like a flash kid)
Whatever fun you may have what do you say have a heart? (All that it takes is dash of panache, kid. Ah!)

[SNOOPY]
When there's a party they beg me to crash, kid!

[ALL]
Well, did you play it smart?
You'll play it away
So, what d'ya say, world?
Don't want to keep us waiting
Procrastinating so hard!
All kinds of good things start right now!

(spoken)
Now!
