Happy New Year, Charlie Brown Page #2

---

No, I haven't thought about that.

I'm reading War and Peace.

Uh-huh.

I knew it would be me.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I'm only on Page 5 of my book.

Come on, Chuck.

Remember, you have to invite somebody.

Well, I suppose you're right.

I wonder if that little red-haired girI

would go with me.

What?

Do you think she would?

So long forever, Chuck.

I've written an invitation

to the little red-haired girI.

I was afraid to call her.

It's too late to maiI it,

so I thought I'd take it to her house.

But I'm worried.

Why?

All you have to do

is slip the letter into the maiI slot...

...in the front door of the house.

But what if my hand gets caught

in the maiI slot?

That's ridiculous, Charlie Brown.

Well, then, what if my hand

gets caught in the maiI slot...

...and while I'm hanging there,

someone opens the door?

Charlie Brown, you worry

about the most impossible things.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

Hello? Hello?

Heather, are you home?

I've come to invite you

to a New Year's party.

I mean... I mean,

if you don't have anything else to do.

Would you...? Would you like to come?

I could either pick you up

or... Or meet you there...

...if I ever get my hand

out of this mailbox.

I can't stand it.

I just can't stand it.

CHARLIE:

Tomorrow night's the party.

The little red-haired girl

never answered my letter.

What a way to start a new year.

Tomorrow night, millions of people

will be going to parties and dressing up.

Some are even ready

a day ahead of time.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

It's too bad Charles

couldn't come to the party, sir.

I couldn't care less, Marcie.

It's too bad he had to write that report.

Okay, everybody,

it's time to play musicaI chairs.

Hi. Can I come in?

I thought you had to study.

Well, I thought I could

read some of it here.

Come on, Chuck, admit it, you sly dog.

You wanted to start

the new year with me.

Well...

...I was kind of hoping

the little red-haired girI would show up.

Chuck, you drive me crazy.

Come on, sir.

Everybody is ready for musicaI chairs.

Okay, okay. Let's get started.

Can I play?

Oh, I guess so, Chuck. Come on.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

PATTY [SINGING]:

Hey, it's time for musical chairs

Come on, let's go

Set up the chairs now

All in a row

You run around the chairs

Till the music stops

And you have to find a seat

Now, don't get caught

'Cause when the music stops

You can't be standing there

If you wanna be a winner at musical chairs

Now we take away a chair

While you're runnin' around

Don't let the kid in front of you

Get you down

Just listen to the rhythm

Now don't miss a beat

'Cause you don't wanna be the only one

Without a seat
