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
Let's see, If can make it easier
Doe, a dear, 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 SO
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO
Oh oh oh
Doe, a dear, 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 SO
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO
Doe, a dear, 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 SO
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 dear, 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

Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to DO
