Happy Christmas (Ode to Charlie Brown)

Charlie said to Linus I think there's something wrong with me Christmas is just around the corner But I'm not happy I'm not happy I try to get out of this funk Every chance I get Lucy says she'll hold that ball, but she hasn't done it yet I'm such a fool Why do I play the fool But I bid you a Happy Christmas From the island of the lonely boy He's just looking for some place where he fits in Not another toy No no Charlie's like my brother There are many like him I've heard My mother'd ask him what he wanted He'd think about what she could afford But he really did like that slinky And that pocket full of pens All the while just hoping that maybe some day All this sadness would end There are islands full of sad boys Who love that broken tree Everybody likes the pretty ones But this one's just like me A little love, a little tinsel Some pretty lights and string Put him out in the front yard With everybody holding hands around him Ohh just to sing Merry Christmas From the island of the lonely boys We're just looking for some place where we fit in Not another toy Not some silly toy Well I'm not the best at anything But if you take the time to look I hope you'll see Just a little piece of him In me So Merry Christmas Charlie Brown Merry Christmas Charlie Brown Good ole Charlie Brown
