The Sound Of Music (50th Anniversary Edition)
Do-Re-Mi
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-SOL-LA-TI
Oh, let me see if I can make it easier
DO - A deer, a female deer
RE - A drop of golden sun
MI - A name I call myself
FA - A long, long way to run
SOL - A needle pulling thread
LA - A note to follow SOL
TI - A drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO, oh, oh, oh
DO - A deer, a female deer
RE - A drop of golden sun
MI - A name I call myself
FA - A long, long way to run
SOL - A needle pulling thread
LA - A note to follow SOL
TI - A drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to
DO - A deer, a female deer
RE - A drop of golden sun
MI - A name I call myself
FA - A long, long way to run
SOL - A needle pulling thread
LA - A note to follow SOL
TI - A drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO
DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-TI-DO, so DO
Now children, DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL and so on
Are only the tools 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
SOL-DO-LA-FA-MI-DO-RE
Can you do that?
SOL-DO-LA-FA-MI-DO-RE
SOL-DO-LA-TI-DO-RE-DO
SOL-DO-LA-TI-DO-RE-DO
Now put it all together
SOL-DO-LA-FA-MI-DO-RE
SOL-DO-LA-TI-DO-RE-DO
Good
But it doesn't mean anything
So we put in words, one word for every note
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
Together
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
DO - A deer, a female deer
RE - A drop of golden sun
MI - A name I call myself
FA - A long, long way to run
SOL - A needle pulling thread
LA - A note to follow SOL
TI - A drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO
DO-RE-MI-FA-SOL-LA-TI-DO
DO-TI-LA-SOL-FA-MI-RE-DO
DO-MI-MI, MI-SOL-SOL, RE-FA-FA, LA-TI-TI
