[CHARLIE BROWN]
Gimme a "T"!
[OTHERS]

Gimme an "E"!

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Gimme a "A"!
[OTHERS]
"A"!
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Gimme a "M"!
[OTHERS]
"M"!
[CHARLIE BROWN]
What d'ya got?
[ALL]
Team!
(sung)
There is no team like the best team
Which is our team right here
We will show you we're the best team
In the very Little League this year
And in no time, we'll be big time
With the Big League baseball stars!
For all we have to do is win just one more game
And the championship is ours
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Dear Pen Pal,​
You'll never guess what happened today
At the baseball game
It's hard to believe, what happened today
At the baseball game
I was the manager, Schroeder was catcher
And all of the team was the same—as always—
But somehow or other disaster struck
At the baseball game
(spoken)
Huddle up!
[OTHERS]
Break!
(overlapping voices)
Hey! You could—! Come on! Charlie Brown! Swing! Swing!
Ohhhh...
[LUCY]
I got it!
[LINUS]
I got it!
[SCHROEDER]
I got it!
[SNOOPY]
Woof woof woof!
[LUCY]
Ahhh!
[LUCY (to Charlie Brown)]
I thought you had it
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Three balls, two strikes
The bases were loaded, with two men out
I pitched my curve, but somehow he hit it
A good strong clout
"Lucy," I hollered, "It's comin' right to you—"
She caught it as easy as pie—then dropped it
I don't think it's good for a team's morale
To see their manager cry
Snoopy helped out by biting a runner
And catching the ball in his teeth;
Linus caught flies from a third-story window
By holding his blanket beneath
Yes, we had fortitude
No one could argue with that
And one run would win us the game
As I came up to bat
 
[OTHERS]
Go Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown—
[ALL]
There is no
​team
​like the best team
Which is our team right here
We will show you we're the best team
In the very Little League this year
And in no time
​We'll be big time
With the Big League baseball stars!
For all we have to do is win just one more game
(Ours, ours, ours)
 
[LUCY, spoken]
All right, Charlie Brown, we're all behind you, sort of. I mean this kid can't pitch. He pitches like my grandmother, Charlie Brown. Now
​all you have to is bear down, just
​bear down. And when you get on first, watch me for my signals
And the championship is ours
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Two men were on with two outs
And me with one strike to go (One strike, one strike)
Then I saw her—this cute little
Red-headed girl I know
Firmly I vowed I would win it for her
And I shouldered my bat and I swung...
[OTHERS gasp, then groan]
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Dear pen pal, I'm told where you live
Is really quite far
Would you please send directions
On how I can get where you are?
Your friend,​
Charlie Brown
