Do - Re - Mi Lyrics

Do - Re - Mi Lyrics

 

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

 

(sung)

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.

 

(sung) 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:]

[Children:]

 

Do . . . So Do

Re . . . La Fa

Mi . . . Mi Do

Fa . . . Re

So . . . So Do

La . . . La Fa

Ti . . . La So Fa Mi Re

Ti Do - oh - oh Ti Do – So Do
