Do-Re-Mi

Maria: Let's start at the very beginning 
A very good place to start
when you read you begin with 

Gretl: ABC

Maria: 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-Fa-So-La-Ti

Oh let's see if I can make it easier

(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 Doe oh-oh-oh


That will bring us back to Doe
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti Do-So-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 head
You can sing a million different tunes by 
mixing them up
Like this... so-do-la-fa-mi-do-re

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: Now put it all together

All: So-do-la-fa-mi-do-re
So-do-la-ti-do-re-do

Maria: Good!

Brigitta: But it doesn't mean anything

Maria: So we put in words
one word for every note, like this:

When you know the notes to sing
you can sing most anything

Together

All: When you know the notes to sing
you can sing most anything

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

When you know the notes to sing
you can sing most anything

That will bring us back to 
Do-So-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re

So-Do-La-Ti
Fa-So Mi-Re
Ti-Do So-Do
