Song by Maria and the Children<br /><br>

Let's start at the very beginning<br>

A very good place to start<br>

When you read you begin with A-B-C<br>

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi<br>

<br>

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi<br>

The first three notes just happen to be<br>

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti<br>

[spoken]<br>

Let's see if I can make it easy<br>

<br>

Doe, a deer, a female deer<br>

Ray, a drop of golden sun<br>

Me, a name I call myself<br>

Far, a long, long way to run<br>

Sew, a needle pulling thread<br>

La, a note to follow Sew<br>

Tea, a drink with jam and bread<br>

That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)<br>

<br>

[Maria and Children:]<br>

[Repeat above verse twice]<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do<br>

So-do!<br>

<br>

[Maria: (spoken)]<br>

Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on<br>

are only the tools we use to build a song.<br>

Once you have these notes in your heads, <br>

you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up.<br>

Like this.<br>

<br>

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re<br>

[spoken]<br>

Can you do that?<br>

[Children:]<br>

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re<br>

[Maria:]<br>

So Do La Ti Do Re Do<br>

[Children:]<br>

So Do La Ti Do Re Do<br>

[Maria:]<br>

[spoken]<br>

Now, put it all together.<br>

<br>

[Maria and Children:]<br>

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do<br>

[Maria:]<br>

[spoken]<br>

Good!<br>

[Brigitta:]<br>

[spoken]<br>

But it doesn't mean anything.<br>

[Maria:]<br>

[spoken]<br>

So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.<br>

<br>

When you know the notes to sing<br>

You can sing most anything<br>

[spoken]<br>

Together!<br>

<br>

[Maria and Children:]<br>

When you know the notes to sing<br>

You can sing most anything<br>

<br>

Doe, a deer, a female deer<br>

Ray, a drop of golden sun<br>

Me, a name I call myself<br>

Far, a long, long way to run<br>

Sew, a needle pulling thread<br>

La, a note to follow Sew<br>

Tea, a drink with jam and bread<br>

That will bring us back to Do<br>

<br>

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do<br>

Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re<br>

<br>

[Children:]<br>

Do Mi Mi<br>

Mi So So<br>

Re Fa Fa<br>

La Ti Ti<br>

[Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings]<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

When you know the notes to sing<br>

You can sing most anything<br>

<br>

[Maria and Children:]<br>

Doe, a deer, a female deer<br>

Ray, a drop of golden sun<br>

Me, a name I call myself<br>

Far, a long, long way to run<br>

Sew, a needle pulling thread<br>

La, a note to follow Sew<br>

Tea, a drink with jam and bread<br>

That will bring us back to<br>

<br>

[Maria:]<br>

[Children:]<br>

<br>

Do . . . So Do <br>

Re . . . La Fa <br>

Mi . . . Mi Do <br>

Fa . . . Re <br>

So . . . So Do <br>

La . . . La Fa <br>

Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re <br>

Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do -- So Do<br>
