Julie Andrews, Karat, Angela Cartwright, Duane Chase, Nicholas Hammond, Heather Menzies, Debbie Turner and Charmian Carr - Do-Re-Mi

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

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, 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

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 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

So (So, Do)
Re (La, Fa)
Mi (Mi, Do)
Fa (Re)
So (So, Do)
La (La, Fa)
Ti (La, So, Fa, Mi, Re)
Ti, Do
