DO RE MI (MP3)
Let's start at the very beginning 
very good place to start 
When you read you begin with A-B-
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 [bad word] 
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: 
(Repeat above verse twice) 

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. 

(Maria): 
When you know the notes to sing 
You can sing most anything 
(Spoken) 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 [bad word] 
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 
(Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings) 

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 [bad word] 
Sew, a needle pulling thread 
La, a note to follow Sew 
Tea, a drink with jam and bread 
That will bring us back to
