DO - RE - MI [ midi |  print]
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...
(Oh let's see if I can make this easier)
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 to follow SO
TI - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do oh oh oh
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
So! - a needle pulling thread
La! - a note to follow SO

That would bring us back to DO!
A deer, a female deer
RE, a drop of golden sun

Lonely Goatherd [midi | print]
High on a hill was a lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Lay odl lay odl loo...
Ho ho lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay
A prince on a bridge of a castle moat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Men on a road with a load to tote heard
Lay odl lay odl loo
Men in the midst of a table d'hote heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
Men drinking beer with a foam afloat heard
Lady odl lay odl loo...
Ho ho, lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hee hoo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd, lay odl aly odl loo
Hm hm hm hmm, odl lay hee, odl lay hee hee, odl lay hee
Ho ho, lady odlee ho, ho ho lady odl lay
Ho ho lady odl lee ho, lady odl lee ho lay
One little girl in a pale pink coat heard,
Lay odl lay odl lay hoo hoo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Lay odl lay odl lay hm hm
What a duet for a girl and goatherd, lay odl lay odl loo
Happy are they lady ho lady lee ho, ho lady ho lady lady ho
Soon the duet will become a trio, lady odl lay odl loo
Odl lay hee....odl lay hee...odl lay hee hee

Edelweiss [midi | print]
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white
Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
Liesl
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Edelweiss Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white Small and white
Clean and bright Clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
* Look for your lover and hold him tight
While your health you're keeping
* - Oscar Hammerstein's early lyrics for his last song--Edelweiss (info from: Jessica)

So Long, Farewell [midi | print]
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too.
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say cook-coo
Gretl, Brigitta & Marta:
cook-coo, cook-coo
Regretfully they tell us -- cook-coo
But firmly they compel us -- cook-coo
To say goodbye -- cook-coo...
To you...
So long farewell, auf weidersehen goodnight
Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long farewell, auf weidersehen adieu
Friedrich
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you
So long farewell, au revior auf weidersehen
Liesl
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?
Captain
No
So long farewell, auf weidersehen goodbye
Kurt
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye - goodbyyyyyyeeeee!
Brigitta
I'm glad... to go.... I cannot tell a lie
Louisa
I fleet, I float, I fleetly flee I fly...
Gretl
The sun... has gone... to bed and so must I...
So long...farewell...auf weidersehen goodbye...
Goodbye...
Goodbye....
Goodbye....
Guests
Goodbye...

Climb Every Mountain [midi | print]
Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every by way, every path you know
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
A dream that will need, all the love you can give
Everyday of your life, for as long as you live
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your... dream...

Something Good [midi | print]
Maria: Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Captain: So here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not, you should
Maria: So somewhere in my youth or childhood,
I must have done something good
Both: Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could
Maria: So, somewhere in my youth...
Captain: ...or childhood
Maria: I must have done something...
Both: Something...good...
