You're a Good Man Charlie Brown movie - My New Philosophy lyrics
rate me[SALLY]
"oh, yeah. That's what you think."
[SCHROEDER]
What?
[SALLY]
That's my new philosophy: "Oh, yeah?
That's what you think!"
[SCHROEDER]
Well, why are you telling me?
[SALLY]
What?
[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]
You new philosophy?
[SALLY]
My new philosophy!
[as teacher]
Miss B?
[as herself]
I'm she
Look see.
A "D?"
A "D."
Well, why are telling me?
And that's my new philosophy!
[SCHROEDER]
That's your new philosophy?
[SALLY]
Why are you telling me?
My new philosophy!
[SCHROEDER]
That's great, Sally, but I've gotta 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 you 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 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]
But, Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be
very lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over 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 guarantee.
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.
[LUCY (passing by and overhearing)]
Aaugh! This is the last day!! This is it!! I only have
twenty-four hours left!! Help me! Help me! This is the last
day!! Aaugh!
[SALLY]
Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people.
And that's my new philosophy!
