My New Philosophy--Kristin Chenoweth and Stanley Wayne

Lyrics:

Sally:
(spoken) Oh yeah? That's what YOU think!

Schroeder:
(spoken) What?

Sally:
(spoken) That's my new philosophy. "Oh yeah? That's what YOU think!"

Schroeder:
(spoken) Then why are you telling me?

Sally:
(spoken) What?

Schroeder:
(spoken) WHY are you telling me?

Sally:
(spoken) "WHY are you telling me?" I like it!
That's a good philosophy.
"WHY are you telling me?"
" WHY are you telling me?"
(sings)" Why are you telling me?"
My new philosophy
The teacher gave a D on last week's homework!
She said, "Miss Sally Brown,
Your grades are going down"
I could have told her...

Schroeder:
Your new philosophy?

Sally:
My new philosophy.
(spoken) Ms. B?
I'm she.
Look see
A D?
A D.
Well, why are you telling me?
(sung) And that's my new philosophy!

Schroeder:
That's your new philosophy?

Sally:
" Well why are you telling me?"
My new philosophy!

Schroeder:
(spoken) That's great, Sally. But I've got to practice Chopin's Nocturne in B-flat Minor.

Sally:
(spoken) No! I like it! "No!" That's my new philosophy.
" No! No! No!"

Schroeder:
(spoken) That's your new philosophy?

Sally:
(spoken) Yes! I mean "No!"
(singing) Just like a busy bee
Each new philosophy
Can fly from tree to tree
and keep me moving!
When life's a dizzy maze
On alterating days
I choose a different phrase!

Schroeder:
Your new philosophy?

Sally:
My new philosophy!

Schroeder:
Sally,
Some philosophies are simple:
"Man does not eat by bread alone."
Some philosophies are clear...

Sally:
" Leave your message at the sound of the tone."

Both:
Some philosophies pick and choose
Deciding what goes in it

Schroeder:
Some take a lifetime!

Sally:
Mine take a minute!

Schroeder:
(spoken) But Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be very long lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two years
to complete his brilliant Ninth Symphony...

Sally:
(spoken)" No!"

Schroeder:
(spoken)I can't stand it!

Sally:
(spoken) " I can't stand it!" I like it!
(sings) It's like a gurantee
Each new philosophy
And things are sure to be a whole lot brighter!
" Oh yeah? That's what you think!"
" Why are you telling me?"
" No!"
" I can't stand it!"
Now life is free and easy,
Much more philosophy-zy,
With my brand new...

(spoken)You know, someone had said that we should live every day as
if it were the last day of our life.

Lucy:
(spoken)This is it? Help me! Help me! I've got twenty four hours to live! AAAAAAAAAA!!!

Sally:
(spoken) Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people...
(sung) And that's my new philosophy

I have found myself falling in love with this silly song. It's from the Broadway Musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." I mean, come on? Who doesn't love the Peanuts? ::D

Down side? This song will be stuck in your head a l l day and you'll be running around singing "Why are you telling me? My newww philosophy!" X)

I'm a real sucker for musical numbers. There so catchy. They just stick there in your head. Then you have to attempt dancing. And if you're me, you fail miserably. Even High School Musical and those silly disney things! Very intriguing for me . . .

And that's my new philosophy! Yeah!
