Maria:
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with
Gretl:
A-B-C
Maria:
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Children:
Do-re-mi
Maria:
Do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi
Children:
Do-re-mi
Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
oh, Let's see if I can make it easy
Doe-a deer, a female deer
Ray-a drop of golden sun
Me-a name I call myself
Far-a long, long way to run
Sew-a needle pulling thread
La-a note to follow Sew
Tea-a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
Maria and Children: (Repeat twice)
Maria:
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. So-do!
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only
The tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your heads you can
sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Can you do that?
Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Maria:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Children:
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Maria:
Now, put it all together.
Maria and Children:
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do
Maria:
Good!
Brigitta:
But it doesn't mean anything.
Maria:
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!
Maria and Children:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Doe-a deer, a female deer
Ray-a drop of golden sun
Me-a name I call myself
Far-a long, long way to run
Sew-a needle pulling thread
La-a note to follow Sew
Tea-a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
Children:
Do Mi Mi
Mi So So
Re Fa Fa
La Ti Ti…..
Maria:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Maria and Children:
Doe-a deer, a female deer
Ray-a drop of golden sun
Me-a name I call myself
Far-a long, long way to run
Sew-a needle pulling thread
La-a note to follow Sew
Tea-a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
Maria:
Do . . .
