lyrics

Charlie Brown,
Why the frown?
Where have you gone
That's got you so down?

Charlie Brown,
Don't play the fool.
Don't let her take
That football from you.

Since you were a boy,
you walked with your head hanging low,
But now you're a grown man.

And now you dream of the shore
And a blanket on the sand,
And on the blanket a girl,
With a drink in her hand.

And what she's wanting from you
I know you'll understand,
‘Cause you're no longer a boy,
you're a man.

Charlie Brown,
Why the frown?
Even your dog says
You drag him down.

Hang up the phone,
pack up the car.
You'll never be happy
If you stay where you are.

Now drive to the sea,
Let the wind blow wild through your hair.
A winding road takes you there.

And on the shore there's beach
With a blanket in the sand,
And on the blanket a girl,
With a drink in her hand.

And what she's wanting from you
I know you'll understand,
‘Cause you're no longer a boy,
you're a man.

So go to her, Charlie,
She's calling to you,
She holds your future in her hands.

You won't be sorry,
I swear this is true,
You'll find your happiness lying in the sands.

And listen as she
whispers sweetly to you,
To be happy with who you are!

So Charlie Brown,
Hang up that frown.

Charlie Brown,
No more little girls
Named after candy
Or with natural curls.

The doctor you saw
is no longer in.
It’s time to be happy
in your own skin.

They all let you down,
but you know it’s their loss
in the end.
Even your thumb-sucking friend.

And on the beach at the shore
there’s a blanket in the sand,
And on that blanket a girl,
with a drink in her hand.

And what she’s wanting from you,
I know you’ll understand,
‘cause you’re no longer a boy,
you’re a man!

So go to her, Charlie,
She's calling to m you,
She holds your future in her hands.

You won't be sorry,
I swear this is true,
You'll find your happiness lying in the sands.

And listen as she
whispers sweetly to you,
To be happy with who you are!

So Charlie Brown,
Hang up that frown.
