My New Philosophy-Ilana Levine/Kristin Chenoweth/Stanley Wayne Mathis

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. be? 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 be-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... 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!
