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

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)

(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 dear, a female dear

Ray, a drop o 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

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

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

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

Do-Mi-Mi

Mi-So-So

Re-Fa-Fa

La-Ti-Ti

Do-Mi-Mi
