My second and final take on a number from the 1999 Broadway revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, although done with just my usual trio of alto saxophone, vibraphone, and piano. I tried to alternate the instruments based on how the vocals alternate between the boys and the girls. This is the finale from the show, "Happiness."

[CHARLIE BROWN] (spoken)
I'm so happy. That little red-headed girl dropped her pencil. It has teeth marks all over it. She nibbles her pencil. She's human! I guess it hasn't been such a bad day after all.

(sung)
Happiness is finding a pencil

[SNOOPY]
Pizza with sausage

[LINUS]
Telling the time

[SCHROEDER]
Happiness is learning to whistle

[LINUS]
Tying your shoe for the very first time

[SALLY]
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band

[CHARLIE BROWN]
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream

[LUCY]
Knowing a secret

[SCHROEDER]
Climbing a tree

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Happiness is five different crayons

[SCHROEDER]
Catching a firefly
Setting him free

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Happiness is being alone every now and then.

[ALL]
And happiness is coming home again

[CHARLIE BROWN]
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

[LINUS]
Happiness is having a sister

[LUCY]
Sharing a sandwich

[LUCY AND LINUS]
Getting along

[ALL]
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime too

[CHARLIE BROWN]
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

[LUCY] (spoken)
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
