Clark Gesner
Glee Club Rehearsal
[SCHROEDER]
Remember, this is a mood piece. We must paint a picture with music and words. And concentrate!
Remember... Adagio con brio
[ALL]
Oh give me a home
Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play...
[LUCY]
Give me my pencil
[ALL]
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
[LINUS]
Not on your life
[ALL]
And the skies are not cloudy all day
[SALLY, (LUCY)]
If you don't tell me
What you told Lucy (Give me that pencil)
I'm just going to (You blockhead!)
Scream!
[ALL]
Home, home on the range
[LUCY, (LINUS)]
Give me my pencil!
(No!)
[ALL, (LINUS)]
Where the deer and the antelope play
(Not until you promise not to tell her!)
[LUCY]
What're you trying to do?
Stifle my freedom of speech?
[ALL, (LUCY)]
Where seldom is heard
(Give me my pencil!)
A discouraging word
[LINUS]
No promise, no pencil
[ALL]
And the skies are not cloudy all day
[SALLY]
What pencil?
[LINUS]
No!
[ALL]
Oh, give me a land
[LINUS]
Give me that pencil!
[ALL, (SALLY)]
Where the bright Diamond sand
(Linus, it just isn't fair!)
[SCHROEDER]
Sing!
[ALL]
Flows leisurely down the stream
[CHARLIE BROWN]
Why did you take Sally's pencil?
[LINUS]
Aaugh!
[ALL except Linus, (SALLY)]
Where the graceful white swan
Goes gliding along
(What did he call me?)
[ALL THUS FAR, (LUCY)]
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
(He said
He said you were...
An enigma!)
[SALLY]
An enigma?
[CHARLIE BROWN]
An enigma?
[SNOOPY]
An enigma?
[ALL, (SALLY)]
Home, home on the range
(Boy, that makes me...
What a terrible thing to call a...
What's an enigma? Never mind!)
[ALL REMAINING, (LUCY), [CHARLIE BROWN], {SNOOPY}]
Where the deer and the antelope play
(What's an enigma?)
[What's an enigma?]
{What's an en...?}
[LUCY]
Hey, he's still got my pencil!
[SCHROEDER & SNOOPY]
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
[SCHROEDER]
And the skies are not cloudy all day
[SNOOPY]
Oooooooohhhhh
