ORGAN, ORCHESTRA AND NUN'S CHORUS<br />
How do you solve a problem like Maria?<br />
How do you catch a clown and pin it down?<br />
How do you find a word that means Maria?<br />
A flibberti gibbet!<br />
A willo' the wisp!<br />
A clown!<br />
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her,<br />
Many a thing she ought to understand.<br />
But how do you make her say,<br />
And listen to all you say?<br />
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?<br />
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?<br />
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand
