clark gesner - my new philosophy 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]
well 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?”
(sung)
“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)
miss 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 gotta go practice chopin’s nocturne in b-flat minor
[sally, spoken]
no! i like it! “no!” that’s a good philosophy
” no! no! no!”
[schroeder, spoken]
that’s your new philosophy, huh?
[sally, spoken]
yes! i mean “no!”
(sung)
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 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!
(sung)
it’s like a gurantee
my 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]
ahh! this is the last day! this is it! i only have twenty-four hours left, help me! help me! this is the last day! ahh!
[sally, spoken]
clearly, some philosophies aren’t for all people…
(sung)
and that’s my new philosophy!
