High on a hill was a lonely goatherd 【lei-ao-de lei-ao-de lei-ai oo】 Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd 【lei-ao-de lei-ao-de l-oo】 Folks in a town that was quite remote heard 【lei-ao-de lei-ao-de lei-ai oo】 Lusty and clear from the goatherd‘s throat heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de l-oo】 ao hao lei-yao-de lei-o, ao hao lei-yaode lei】 【ao hao lei-yao-de lei-o, lei-yao-de lei-o lei】 A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de lei-ai oo】 Men on a road with a load to tote heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de l-oo】 Men in the midst of a table d‘hote heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de lei-ai oo】 Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de l-oo】 One little girl in a pale pink coat heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de lei-ai oo】 She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd 【lei-o-de lei-o-de l-oo】 Soon her Mama with a gleaming gloat heard 【lei-o-de lei-o-de lei-ai oo】 What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Song from The Sound of Music

"Do-Re-Mi" is
a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. Within the story, it is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to the Von Trapp children who learn to sing for the first time, even though their father has disallowed frivolity after their mother's death. The song is notable in that each syllable of the musical solfege system appears in its lyrics, sung on the pitch it names.

• This song tells the whimsical story of a goatherd whose yodelling is heard from far off and by passers-by, until he falls in love with a girl who wears a pale-pink coat, with her mother joining in the yodelling. • This song has been sung at different points in the musical depending on the production. In the 1959 Broadway production,Maria (played by Mary Martin) sings the song in the children's bedroom to comfort them during a storm, while in the 1965 film Maria (played by Julie Andrews) and the children sing it as part of a marionette show they perform for their father. (A different song, "My Favorite Things," is performed in the bedroom for the film version.)

<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 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-ohoh)
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells aБайду номын сангаасd schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad
