V5.5

[Charlie Brown] I’m gonna pack my suitcase, I’m gonna leave this town, I’m tired of kicking footballs Just to watch ’em pull ’em down. I’m headed for the big city, Where the lights shine all night long, I’ll find myself some happiness, And maybe I’ll belong. [Lucy] Oh, Charlie Brown, you’re dreaming, You always dream too big. You think that city’s waiting For some kid with your luck? You’ll get lost among the skyscrapers, You’ll trip beneath the neon lights, And before you find your happiness, You’ll be home by Friday night. [Charlie Brown] Well, I’m going to the big city, Lucy, And I’m gonna make my name! [Lucy] You couldn't even make a field goal When I held the football game! [Charlie Brown] I’ll find a brand-new neighborhood, A place where dreams come true! [Lucy] You'd better bring your dog, Charlie, 'Cause you know you’re gonna need some love. Yuk! [Both] Oh, the big city! Here we come! [Charlie Brown] There’ll be music on the sidewalks, And red-headed girls everywhere, A brand-new shirt and shiny shoes, And wind blowing through my hair. I’ll meet somebody wonderful, She’ll understand my heart— [Lucy] You’ll probably both need a psychiatrist That will be double the price Oh! How I love the sound of money [Charlie Brown] I’m gonna be a somebody! Good Grief! [Lucy] You’re already Charlie Brown! The biggest looser I know! [Charlie Brown] I’ll be the king of the big city! [Lucy] They’ll run you right back out of town! [Charlie Brown] I’ll find success and fortune! [Lucy] You can't even win a game! [Charlie Brown] I’ll leave these troubles far behind! [Lucy] They’ll follow you just the same! [Both] Oh, the big city! Bright and tall! You think you're gonna conquer it— It may conquer you after all! [Charlie Brown] Maybe I’ll see the skyline And finally understand Why everybody leaves their troubles For a place they’ve never planned. [Lucy] Maybe you’ll find your fortune, Maybe you’ll find your fame— [Charlie Brown] Maybe I’ll find somebody Who remembers my name! [Lucy] Charlie Brown, you're hopeless. [Charlie Brown] Lucy, you're just jealous! [Lucy] I'm not jealous, Charlie Brown. [Charlie Brown] Then why are you coming with me? [Lucy] Because somebody has to keep you From getting lost downtown! [Both] So we're going to the big city, Where the lights are shining bright. Charlie’s looking for tomorrow, Lucy’s looking for a fight! [Charlie Brown] I’ll find my place in this world! [Lucy] I'll make sure you don't fall! [Both] We’re two Peanuts in a big, big world, Trying to figure it all! [Charlie Brown] Big city! [Lucy] Big dreams! [Charlie Brown] Big trouble! [Lucy] That’s Charlie Brown! [Both] Big city— Here we come!
