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
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
Oh, 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)
(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 doe
A dear, a female dear
Ray, a drop o 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
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
Can you do that?
So-Do-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re
So-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do
So-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do
Now, put it all together
So-Do-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re
So-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re Do
Good!
But it doesn't mean anything
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this
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
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
Do-Mi-Mi
Mi-So-So
Re-Fa-Fa
La-Ti-Ti
Do-Mi-Mi
Mi-So-So
Re-Fa-Fa
La-Ti-Ti
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) 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 So-Do
