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

(Spoken:  All right, I'll make it easier.)
Listen:  Doe a deer, a female dear
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!

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 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 doe!
