ANDREWS: Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read, you begin with
GRETL: A-B-C
ANDREWS: When you sing, you begin with do-re-mi
CHILDREN: Do-re-mi
ANDREWS: Do-re-mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do-re-mi
CHILDREN: Do-re-mi
ANDREWS: Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
Oh, let's 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
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
CHILDREN: Do
ANDREWS: A deer, a female deer
CHILDREN: Re
ANDREWS: A drop of golden sun
CHILDREN: Mi
ANDREWS: A name I call myself
CHILDREN: Fa
ANDREWS: A long, long way to run
ANDREWS & CHILDREN: So, a needle pulling thread
La
ANDREWS: A note to follow so
Ti
CHILDREN: A drink with jam and bread
ANDREWS: That will bring us back to do
CHILDREN: 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
ANDREWS & CHILDREN: La, a note to follow so
Ti, a drink with jam and bread
ANDREWS: 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?
CHILDREN: So, do, la, fa, mi, do, re
ANDREWS: So, do, la, ti, do, re, do
CHILDREN: So, do, la, ti, do, re, do
ANDREWS: Now put it all together
ANDREWS & CHILDREN: So, do, la, fa, mi, do, re
So, do, la, ti, do, re, do
ANDREWS: Good
BRIGITTA: But it doesn't mean anything
ANDREWS: 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
ANDREWS & CHILDREN: 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
La, ti-ti
When (Do, mi-mi)
You (Mi, so-so)
Know (Re, fa-fa)
The (La, ti-ti)
Notes (Do, mi-mi)
To (Mi, so-so)
Sing (Re, fa-fa)
(La, ti-ti)
You (La, ti-ti)
Can (Mi, so-so)
Sing (Re, fa-fa)
Most (La, ti-ti)
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 (So, do)
Re (La, fa)
Mi (Mi, do)
Fa (Re)
So (So, do)
La (La, fa)
Ti (La-so, fa, mi-re)
Ti, do (So, do)
