This is the first one, they sing it again (I believe) near the end, with
the Captain. For some reason they don't have that version.
Do-Re-Mi
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
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 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)
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.
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 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
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 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
Maria:

Doh, a deer, a female deer,
Ray, a drop of golden sun,
Me, a name I call myself,
Fah, a long, long way to run,
Soh, a needle pulling thread,
Lah, a note to follow soh,
Te, a drink with jam and bread,
That will take us back to
Doh, ray me fah soh,
Lah te, doh, soh, doh.
When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything.
