My New Philosophy

In the song, Sally sings to Schroeder about the new philosophies she has.

Sally: Oh yeah, that's what you think.

Schroeder: What?

Sally: That's my new philosophy. Oh yeah, that's what you think.

Schroeder: Why are you telling me?

Sally: Why are you telling me? I like it. That's a good philosophy.
Why are you telling me? Why are you telling me?
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. Miss B. I'm she.
Look see. A D? A D Why are you telling me?
And that's my new philosophy!

Schroeder: That's your new philosophy?

Sally: Why are you telling me? My new philosophy.

Schroeder: Well that's great Sally, but I have go practice Chopin's Nocturne in B-flat minor.

Sally: NO! I like it. NO! That's a good philosophy. No! No! No!

Schroeder: That's your new philosophy, huh?

Sally: Yes......... I mean no.
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 alternating 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: But some philosophies pick and choose deciding what goes in it.

Schroeder: Some take a lifetime

Sally: Mine take a minute.

Schroeder: But Sally, anything that takes a minute can't be very lasting.
For instance, Beethoven took two years to complete his brilliant ninth symphony.

Sally: NO!

Schroeder: I can't stand it!

Sally: I can't stand it? I like it.
It's like a gaurentee. 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.........
You know, someone has said that we should live each day as if it was the last day of our life.

Lucy: Ahhh! This is the last day! This is it! I only have 24 hours left! Help me! Help me! Ahhhhhhhhh!

Sally: Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people. And that's my new philosophy!
