Do-re-mi Lyrics - 16 Most Requested Songs - Mitch Miller

Let's start at the very beginning 

A very good place to start 

When you read, you begin with-- 

[LITTLE GIRL] A, be, see! 

[MARIA] When you sing, you begin with Do, Re, Mi 

[CHILDREN] Do, Re, Mi 

[MARIA] Do, Re, Mi 

The first three notes just happen to be 

Do, Re, Mi 

[CHILDREN] Do, Re, Mi 

[MARIA] Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti 

[SPOKEN] Come, I'll make it easy for you. Listen: 

[SUNG] 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 So 

Tea, a drink with jam and bread 

That will lead us back to Do, oh, oh, oh 

[WITH 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 So 

Tea, a drink with jam and bread 

That will lead us back to Do 

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do-- So-- Do 

[SPOKEN] Now, children, once you have these notes in your head, you can sing a 

million tunes by mixing them up--like this: 

[SUNG] So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re... [SPOKEN] Now you do it. 

[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 let's put it all together: 

[SUNG BY ALL] So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re 

So, Do, La, Ti, Do, Re, Do 

[LITTLE GIRL] But it doesn't mean anything! 

[MARIA] So we put in words--one word for every note: 

[SUNG] When you know the notes to sing 

You can sing most an--why--thing. [SPOKEN] Together! 

[SUNG BY ALL] When you know the notes to sing 

You can sing most an--why--thing 

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 So 

Tea, a drink with jam and bread 

That will lead us back to Do 

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do-- So-- Do
