I know it's been a long time since my family moved away
And I've been lookin' forward to this trip back here today
I'd like to hear bout all the folks here in my old hometown
Like whatever happened to Charlie Brown
I see that Bobby Rosenbloom now runs his daddy's store
It looks like Chubby Adams gained two hundred pounds or more
And they've fixed up this old drugstore where we used to hang around
But whatever happened to Charlie Brown
Whatever happened to Charlie Brown I've asked almost everyone in town
No one here recalls the last time they saw him around
Oh whatever happened to Charlie Brown

Too bad about poor Becky Jones she's in a family way
She thought that they'd be married but the boy skipped town one day
I asked her if she'd seen Charlie and she started break him down
Oh whatever happened to Charlie Brown
Whatever happened to...
I wonder what happened to Charlie Brown
Oh whatever happened to Charlie Brown
