Lyrics Do-Re-Mi - Connie Fisher & "The Sound of Music" London Palladium Cast

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
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-Re-Mi (Do-Re-Mi)
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Se-La-Ti
Oh, come, I'll make it easier
Listen

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, oh, oh

(A 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 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

Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Se-La-Ti-Do
Se-Do!

Once we have these notes in our heads
We can sing a million different tunes
How?
By mixing them up!

Se-Do-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re
Se-Do-La-Ti-Do-Re-Do
But it doesn't mean anything
So we put in words
Words?
One word for every note
Listen

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything
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 Doe

Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Se-La-Ti-Do
Do-Do-Ti-La-Se-Fa-Mi-Re
Do-Mi-Mi
Mi-Se-Se
Re-Fa-Fa
La-Ti Ti
Do-Mi-Mi
Mi-Se-Se
Re-Fa-Fa
La-Ti-Ti

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

A 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...

Se-Do-La-Fa-Mi-Do-Re (Do-Re-Mi-Fa)
Se-Do-La-Fa (So-La-Ti)
La-Se-Se-Fa
Fa-Mi (Ti-Do)
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Se-La-Ti-Do
Se-Do!
