Do Re Mi 
Maria: 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
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)
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 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:]. . .[Children:]
Do . . . So Do

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