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 huh?
Sally:
(spoken) Yes! I mean No!
(singing) Just like a busy bee
my 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 live 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 left! AAAAAAAAAA!!!
Sally:
(spoken) Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people...
(sung) And that's my new philosophy!
