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
