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!

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

Uh, Sol-Do-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re

Can you do that?

Children  : Sol-Do-La-Fa-Me-Do-Re
Maria     :   Sol-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do
