Song 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
Come, I'll make it easier for you, listen

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
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
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
So a needle pulling thread
La a note to follow so
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
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Ti, 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, once you have these notes in your head
You can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up
Like this
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Now you do it
(So Do La Fa Mi Do Re)
So Do La Ti Do Re Do
(So Do La Ti Do Re Do)

Now, let's put it all together
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

(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
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Ti, 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 Ti Ti

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
So, a needle pulling thread (a needle pulling thread)
La, a note to follow so (a note to follow so)
Ti, a drink with jam and bread (jam and bread)
That will bring us back to do
That will bring us back to

Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re Do

(Do)
