Let's start at the very beginning Doe, a deer, a female deer
A very good place to start Ray, a drop of golden sun
When you read you begin with a-b-c Me, a name I call myself
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi Far, a long, long way to run
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi Sew, a needle pulling thread
The first three notes just happen to be La, a note to follow so
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi Tea, I drink with jam and bread
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti That will bring us back to do (oh-oh-oh)
Let's see if I can make it easier Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do, so-do!
