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
All right, I’ll make it easier, listen
Refrain:
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 Do, oh, oh, oh
A deer, a female deer, Do
A drop of golden sun, Re
A name I call myself, Mi
A long, long way to run, Fa
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Ti, 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 Do
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do
