DO - RE - ME

I am sure you know this so let's do this together!!!!

[Almost Virgin:(spoken)]
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start

[Almost Virgin]
When you read you begin with A-B-C
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

[Children]
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

[Almost Virgin]
When you bath you happen to see 小弟弟
When you sleep you begin to shout molest me

[Children]
Molest me

[Almost Virgin]
The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

[Almost Virgin: (spoken)]
Hmmmm….Let's see if I can make it easier for you guys

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-oh-oh)

[Almost Virgin:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do
So-do!

[Almost Virgin: (spoken)]
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

[spoken]
Can you do that?

[Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re

[Almost Virgin:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

[Children:]
So Do La Ti Do Re Do

[Almost Virgin:(spoken)]
Now, put it all together.

[Almost Virgin and Children:]
So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do

[Almost Virgin:(spoken)]
Good!

[Almost Virgin:(spoken)]
So we put in words. One word for every note.
Like this.

When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

[spoken]
Together!

[Almost Virgin and Children:]
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything

Dough a bread that makes me fat
Rainne a bitch that always makes me sweat.
Mee, that comes with Hokkien or Prawn
Fa, in the middle of Gong Xi Fa Cai
So, its just so so so so so
Lar which is similar to a leh
Tea, something you get from Ah-Kun
That will bring, bring, bring, bring
Us, us, us, us
Back, back, back, back
To, to, to, to
Dough!!!!!

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-Do
So-Do
