Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
[Maria:]
D o-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
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 So
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[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

Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-t i-do.
Do-ti-la-so-fa -mi-re-do.
[Childre n:]
Do-mi-mi-mi-so-s o-re-fa-fa-la-ti-ti
Do-mi-mi-mi-so-so-re -fa-fa-la-ti-ti

[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 So
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
That will bring us back to Do
Do-re-mi-fa-so-l a-ti-do
So-do!
