Charlie Brown’s Glory Days (Acoustic Version)

[Intro] Oh, yeah Yippiee Ugh Good Grief! [Verse 1] Charlie Brown was a big baseball player Back in high school He could throw that curveball by you Make you look like a fool, Oh boy! Charlie saw Linus at this roadside bar He was walking in, and Charlie was walking out They went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks [Pause] Linus asked about his sister, they dated way back when He still carried that old blanket, tattered and all worn out Charlie tried to ask him about the meaning of life But all they kept talking about was [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away. Glory days, Glory days [Verse 2] There was a girl named Lucy, she lived just down the street every fall, when the leaves start falling from the trees She would place that football for Charli Brown to kick Trust me Lucy said, one more time, take a leap of faith Deep down, he wanted to believe, and she swore she wouldn’t move it this time So he laced up his shoes, and Charlie made his run But Lucy couldn’t resist, and she pulled the football back Charlie went flying, upside down, all his thoughts spinning around. Lucy called out Charlie Brown, you blockhead, you will never learn But time went by and a few years back, they met up again, and all they could talk about [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away. Glory days, Glory days [girl’s voice - Ugh! I’ve been kissed by a dog! I got dog germs! Glory Days] [Verse 3] Sometimes on Friday nights, Charlie stops by the ole neighborhood bar He still can’t forget, the little red head girl and how back in school, she could turn all the boy's heads Her and her husband, well, they split up I guess it's two years gone by now Sometimes she stops by to have a few drinks, after she puts her kids to bed They just sit around talking about the old times She says when she feels like crying She starts laughing thinking 'bout [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away. Glory days, Glory days [Verse 4] The girl down the block, Peppermint Patty, always had a crush Charlie She never felt sorry for him and use to always let him win He still remembers when the use to sit under the tree Look at the clouds and talk for hours so many years later, her and chuck got together as more than friends Things fell apart and Patty moved on But sometimes they still hang out with Marcey tagging along Marcey tells Charles, all you ever talk about is [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away Glory days, Glory days [Verse 5] Charlie had a dog named Snoopy They were the best of friends Then Snoopy took off In his fighter plane Back when the big war came Shot down behind enemy lines But somehow, he found his way back home Laughing and crying, reminiscing bout, the good ole times And you know they were talking about [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away Glory days, Glory days [Outro] rock it now! [saxophone solo] Charli’s going down to the well tonight And he’s gonna drink 'til he gets his fill And he hopes when he gets old, he won’t be sitting around thinking about it But he probably will [Chorus] Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of an eye, glory days Good grief Charlie Brown. Time just slips away Glory days, Glory days
