Charlie Brown: Gimme a 'T'!
Others: 'T'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme an 'E'!
Others: 'E'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme a 'A'!
Others: 'A'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme an 'M'!
Others: 'M'!
Charlie Brown: What have you got?
All: Team!
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.
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,
And the championship is ours!
Three balls, two strikes, the bases were loaded with two men out.
I pitched my curve, but somehow they hit it, a good strong clout.
'Lucy', I hollered, 'It's coming 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 the 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.
Lucy: All right, Charlie Brown, we're all behind you--well, sort of. I mean this man can't pitch. He pitches like my grandmother, Charlie Brown. Come on, Charlie Brown, hit it out of the park! Now all you have to is bear down, just bear down- and when you get on first, watch for my signals.
Others: 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...
Lucy: ...And the championship is ours!
Others (echoing): Ours! Ours! Ours!
Charlie Brown: Two men were on with two outs and me with one strike to go
Others (whispering): One strike... One Strike...
Charlie Brown: 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... (Misses)
Others: Oh!
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.
Charlie Brown: Come on, gimme a 'T'!
Others: 'T'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme an 'E'!
Others: 'E'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme a 'A'!
Others: 'A'!
Charlie Brown: Gimme an 'M'!
Others: 'M'!
Charlie Brown: What have you got?
All: Team!
There is no team like the best team,

We will show you we're the best team,

Huddle up!
All: Break!
Lucy: I got it!
Linus: I got it!
Schroeder: I got it!
Snoopy: Woof woof woof!
Charlie Brown: See what I mean?
Three balls, two strikes, the bases were loaded with two men out.
I pitched my curve, but somehow they hit it, a good strong clout.
'Lucy', I hollered, 'It's coming right at you'- she caught it as easy as pie-

Others: Go Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown!
Lucy: All right, Charlie Brown, we're all behind you--well, sort of. I mean this man can't pitch. He pitches like my grandmother, Charlie Brown. Come on, Charlie Brown, hit it out of the park! Now all you have to is bear down, just bear down- and when you get on first, watch for my signal. Got it, Flash?
Others: 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.
