Richard Rodgers - 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 [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 (spoken) Oh, let's see if I can make it easier (sung) Do, a deer, a female deer Re, a drop of golden sun Mi, a name I call myself Fa, a long, long way to run So, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow So Ti, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to Do, oh, oh, oh [MARIA & CHILDREN] Do, a deer, a female deer Re, a drop of golden sun Mi, a name I call myself Fa, a long, long way to run So, a needle pulling thread La, a note to follow So Ti, a drink with jam and bread That will bring us back to Do Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do, So-Do [MARIA, spoken] Now children, Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-and-so on are natur'ly the tunes we use to build a song Once you have these notes in your head You can sing a million diff'rent tune by mixin' them up Like this: (sung) So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re (spoken) Can you do that?

[BRIGITTA, spoken] But it doesn't mean anything [MARIA, spoken] So we put in words—one word for ev'ry note, like this: (sung) When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything Together!
