Happy New Year, Charlie Brown Page #3

---

'Cause when the music stops

You can't be standing there

If you wanna be a winner at musical chairs

Now every time the music stops

You're gonna end up one chair short

And if you're boogalooing

When the music's gone

Sorry, you gotta move on

Now it's the moment of truth

It's getting down the wire

You're burning up inside

With musical fire

You hover around each corner

Of the precious seat

Waitin' for the moment

You can get off your feet

'Cause when the music stops

You can't be standing there

If you wanna be a winner

You've got to be a winner

If you wanna be a winner

At musical chairs

Yeah.

Come on, Charlie Brown.

It's almost midnight.

I'll pour you a root beer.

Thank you, Lucy.

I've decided next year,

I'm going to be a changed person.

Oh, be serious, Charlie Brown.

No, I mean it.

I'm going to be strong and firm.

Forget it, Charlie Brown.

You'll always be wishy-washy.

Why can't I change just a little bit?

I've got it.

I'll be wishy one day

and washy the next.

Charlie Brown, I have news for you.

You will never...

You sniffed in my root beer.

Your stupid beagle

sniffed in my root beer.

Look at that.

I'll bet it's full of dog germs.

Where are my binoculars?

Ah-ha.

I thought so.

You see? It's filled with dog germs.

There's one thing you should never do:

Never sniff at someone's root beer.

[CHATTERING]

Hey, Chuck, wait for me.

Hey, Chuck,

that was a sly move on your part.

You know, to get us out here alone

on New Year's Eve.

Huh?

Yep, we might end up

ushering in the new year together.

- I bet you'd like that, eh, Chuck?

- Hmm.

It's been a great year, Chuck.

You'll have to admit that.

What do you think, Chuck, would be

good rules for living in the new year?

Keep the ball low.

Don't leave your crayons in the sun.

Use dentaI floss every day.

Don't spill the shoe polish.

Always knock before entering.

Don't let the ants get in the sugar.

Never volunteer to be

a program chairman.

Always get your first serve in.

And feed your dog

whenever he's hungry.

Will those rules

give me a better life, Chuck?

A better life and a fat dog.

Have you made

any New Year's resolutions, Chuck?

Yes.

You know how I always dread

the whole year?

Well, this time,

I'm only going to dread one day at a time.

[KIDS CHATTERING]

Hey, come on. It's almost midnight.

MARCIE:

Grab your partners, everybody.

You're weird, Chuck.

CHARLIE:
"But alike in the set

in which they moved...

...the daughter of Prince Vassily,

the beauty Ellen...

...came to fetch her father and go with him

to the ambassador's fete.

She was wearing a balldress

with an imperial badge on it.

The young Princess Bolkonsky

was there...
