Original 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 only the tools we use to build a song
Once you have these notes in your head
You can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this:
(sung)
So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re
(spoken)
Can you do that?
Children, sung:
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 & Children, sung
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:
(sung)
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together!
Maria & Children:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
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
Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re
Do, Mi, Mi
Mi, So, So
Re, Fa, Fa
La, Ti, Ti
Do, Mi-Mi
Mi, So-So
Re, Fa-Fa
La, Ti-Ti
When (Do, Mi-Mi)
You (Mi, So-So)
Know (Re, Fa-Fa)
The (La, Ti-Ti)
Notes (Do, Mi-Mi)
To (Mi, So-So)
Sing (Re, Fa-Fa)
(La, Ti-Ti)
You (La, Ti-Ti)
Can (Mi, So-So)
Sing (Re, Fa-Fa)
Most (La, Ti-Ti)
An-y-thing
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
So... (So, Do)
Re... (La, Fa)
Mi... (Mi, Do)
Fa... (Re)
So... (So, Do)
La... (La, Fa)
Ti... (La-So, Fa, Mi-Re)
