Do, Re, Mi (_The Sound of Music_)
Verse 1
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, 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
Te, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Chorus
Oh, let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
Let's start singing "Do-Re-Mi"
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do
Verse 2
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Then you can sing a show-tune, sing along
Or opera grand or a nursery song
You can sing a ballad, make it ring loud
Sing a rhythm song or a recitative loud
Sing about a fairyland where dreams run free
A world of happiness for you and me
