Lyrics:
[Maria]
Let's start at the very beginning.
A very good place to start.
When you read you begin with

[Gretel]
A, B, C.

[Maria]
When you sing you begin
With do-re-mi.

[Children]
Do-re-mi?

[Maria]
Do-re-mi.
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi.

[Children]
Do-re-mi!

[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti!.
[spoken]
Oh, let's see if I can make it easier.
[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!

[Gretel]
Doe!

[Maria]
A deer, a female deer.

[Two kids]
Ray!

[Maria]
A drop of golden sun.

[Three kids]
Me!

[Maria]
A name I call myself.

[Four kids]
Fa!

[Maria]
A long, long way to run!

[All]
Sew, a needle pulling thread.
La, a note to follow sew.
Tea, a drink with jam and bread.
And that will bring us back to doe!

[Kids]
A deer, a female deer.
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
Me, a name I call myself,
Fa, a long, long way to run!

[All]
Sew! A needle pulling thread.
La, a note to follow sew.
Tea, a drink with jam and bread!

[Maria]
That will bring us back to doe!
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do!
So-do!
[spoken]

Now, children, Do-re-mi-fa-so And so on, are only the tools you use to build a song. Once you have these notes in your heads You can sing a million diff'rent tunes by mixing them up. Like this: [sung] So, do, la, fa, me, do, re. [Spoken] Can you do that? [Kids] So, do, la, fa, me, do, re. [Maria] So, do, la, ti, do, re, do. [Kids] So, do, la, ti, do, re, do. [Maria] [spoken] Now, put it all together! [All] [sung] So, do, la, fa, me, do, re. So, do, la, ti, do, re, do! [Maria] [spoken] Good! [Louisa] But it doesn't mean anything! [Maria] 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! [Together] [All] Doe, a deer, a female deer.
