In the cartoon, the Peanuts cartoon
The Linus sleeps tonight
In the cartoon, the Peanuts cartoon
The Linus sleeps tonight

Holds his blanket, his best blue blanket
And sucks his faithful thumb
Believes Great Pumpkin is really somethin'
On Halloween will come

Older sister is like a blister
And Lucy is her name
When they're boxing, she's still outfoxing
She beats him at his game

Second baseman, that is his place, man
On Charlie's baseball team
Sometimes pitches with blanket switches
And wins games like a dream

Blanket toter's a gospel quoter
Theology's correct
Even smarter than Jimmy Carter
Linus has intellect

In the cartoon, the Peanuts cartoon
The Linus sleeps tonight
In the cartoon, the Peanuts cartoon
The Linus sleeps tonight...
