Maria : Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with
A B C
Children : Do-Re-Me ?
Maria : Do-Re-Me-Fa-Sol-La-Ti
Oh, let's see if I can make it easier (Refrain)
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!
(Repeat twice)
Maria : Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do Sol Do!

only the tools we use to build a song. Once
you have these notes in your heads you can
