Do Re Mi lyrics

Maria:

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:

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

(spoken):

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:

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

Maria:

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do

So-do!

Maria (spoken):

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

(spoken):

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 (spoken):

Now, put it all together.

Maria and Children:

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do

Maria (spoken):

Good!

Brigitta (spoken):

But it doesn't mean anything.

Maria (spoken):

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 and Children:

Do . . . So Do
