(Why Are You Telling Me?) My New Philosophy [Kristin Chenoweth: from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown]

 

Kristin Chenoweth: My New Philosophy [from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown]

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 guarantee 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!
