Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Come, I'll make it easier for you, listen
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
(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
[Verse 4]
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, so, do
[Verse 5]
Now, children, once you have these notes in your head
You can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up, like this
So, do, la, fa, mi, do, re, now you do it (So, do, la, fa, mi, do, re)
So, do, la, ti, do, re, do (So, do, la, ti, do, re, do)
Now let's put it all together
[Verse 6]
So, do, la, fa, mi, do, re
So, so, la, ti, do, re, do
But it doesn't mean anything
So, we put in words, one word for every note
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Do, mi, mi, mi, so, so
Re, fa, fa, la, ti, ti
When you know the notes to sing
(Do, mi, mi, mi, so, so)
(Re, fa, fa, la, ti, ti)
(Do, mi, mi, mi, so, so)
(Re, fa, fa, la, ti, ti)
You can sing most anything
(Do, mi, mi, mi, so, so)
(Re, fa, fa, la, ti, ti)
[Verse 9]
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 (A needle pulling thread)
La, a note to follow sew (A note to follow sew)
Tea, a drink with jam and bread (Jam and bread)
That will bring us back to, do
That will bring us back to
Do, ti, la, so, fa, mi, re, do (Do)
