Clark Gesner, Stanley Wayne Mathis, Ilana levine, Kristin Chenoweth - My New Philosophy lyrics

Oh yeah? That's what you think!

What?

That's my new philosophy "Oh yeah?
That's what you think!"

Well why are you telling me?

What?

Why are you telling me?

"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

Your new philosophy?

My new philosophy

Miss B? I'm she
Look see a "D"?
A "D" well, why are you telling me?

And that's my new philosophy!

That's your new philosophy?

" Well why are you telling me?"
My new philosophy!

That's great, Sally but
I've gotta go practice Chopin's
Nocturne in B-Flat Minor

No! I like it! "No!" That's a good philosophy
" No! No! No!"

That's your new philosophy, huh?

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 alterating days
I choose a different phrase!

Your new philosophy?

My new philosophy!

Sally! Some philosophies are simple:
"Man does not live by bread alone"
Some philosophies are clear

"Leave your message at the
Sound of the tone?"

Some philosophies pick and choose
Deciding what goes in it

Some take a lifetime!

Mine take a minute!

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

"No!"

I can't stand it!

"I can't stand it!" I like it!

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

You know, someone had said that we should
Live every day as
If it were the last day of our life

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!

Clearly, some philosophies aren't
For all people

And that's my new philosophy!
