Sound of Music

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My Favorite Things

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
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snow flakes 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 bees sting
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Lonely Goatherd

High on a hill was a lonely goat-herd
Lay-ee-o-dl, lay-ee-o-dl, lay-ee-o
Loud was the voice of the lonely goat-herd
Lay-a-di, lay-eeo-dl-o

Folks in a town that was quite remote, heard:
Lay-ee-o-dl, lay-ee-o-dl, lay-ee-o
Lusty and clear from the goat-herd's throat heard:

Lay-ee-o-dl-l

o-ho, lay-dee-o-dl-o, o-ho, lay-dee-o-dl ay!
o-ho, lay-ee-o-dl-lee-o, hod-i-o-dl-lee-o ay!

Happy are they, lay-lee-o, lay-ee- lee-o
o lay-lee o lay-lee lay ee-o
Soon the duet will become a trio
Lay-ee, o-dl, lay-ee o-dl-o

Ho-di lay-ee, ho-di lay-ee, ho-di lay-ee, ho-di lay-ee
Ho-di lay-ee, ho-di lay-ee
o-di lay-ee o-dl lee-e o-dl lay-ay!

Do-Re-Mi

Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Te, a drink with Jam and bread
That will bring us back to do

Do me me, me so so, re fa fa, la tee tee
Do me me, me so so, re fa fa, la tee tee

So, Do, La, Fa, Me, Do, Re
So, Do, La, Te, Do, Re, Do
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name, I call myself
Fa, a long long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow so
Te, a drink with Jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more
I'll sing once more
