Maria 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 heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray 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 Maria She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee Her dress has got a tear She waltzes on her way to mass And whistles on the stair And underneath her wimple she has curlers in her hair I even heard her singing in the abbey She's always late for chappel but her penitence is real She's always late for everything except for every meal I hate to have to say it but I very firmly feel Maria's not an asset to the abbey I like to say a word in her behalf Maria makes me laugh * How do you solve a problem like Maria How do you catch a cloud and pin it down How do you find a word that means Maria A flibbertijibbet, a will o-the wisp, a clown ** Many a thing you know you like to tell her Many a thing she ought to understand But how do you make her stay And listen to all you say How do you keep a wave upon the sand O how do you solve a problem like Maria How do you hold our moonbeam in your hand When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bermused And I never know exactly where I am Unpredictable as wheather She's as flighty as a feather She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb She'd outpester any pest Drive a hornet from its nest She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl She is gentle, she is wild She's a riddle, she's a child She's a headache, she's and angel She's a girl Back to  and I Have Confidence Maria What will this day be like, I wonder What will my future be, I wonder It could be so exciting To be out to the world, to be free My heart should be wildly rejoicing Oh, what's the matter with me I've always long for adventure To do the things I've never dared And here I'm pleasing adventure Then why am I so scared A captain with seven children What so fearsome about that Oh, I must stop this doubts, all this worries If I don't I just know I'll turn back I must dream of the things I am seeking I am seeking the courage I lack The courage to serve them with reliance Face my mistakes without defiance Sho them I'm worthy And while I show them, I'll show me....... So let them bring on all their problems I'll do better than my best I have confidence they'll put me to the test But I'll make them see I have confidence in me Somehow I will impress them I will be firm but kind And all those children, heaven bless them They will look up to me and mind me With each step I'm almost certain Everything will turn out find I have confidence, the world can all be mine They'll have to agree I have confidence in me I have confidence in sunshine I have confidence in rain I have confidence that spring will come again Besides which you see I have confidence in me Strength doesn't lie in numbers Strength doesn't lie in wealth Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers When you wake up, wake up! It's healthy All I trust I leave my heart to All I trust becomes my own I have confidence, in confidence alone (Oh help........) I have confidence, in confidence alone Besides which you see I have confidence in me Sixteen Going on Seventeen Rolf You wait little girl on an empty stage For fate will turn the light on Your life little girl is an empty page That men will want to write on Liesl To write on Rolf You are sixteen going on seventeen Baby, it's time to think Better beware, be canny and careful Baby, you're on the brink You are sixteen going on seventeen Fellows will fall in line Eager young lads and rogues and cads Will offer you food and wine Totally unprepared are you to face a world of men Timid and shy and scared are you Of things beyond your ken You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do I'm seventeen going on eighteen I'll take care of you Liesl I am sixteen going on seventeen I know that I'm naive Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet And willingly I believe I am sixteen going on seventeen Innocent as a rose Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies What do I know of those Totally unprepared am I to face a world of men Timid and shy and scared am I Of things beyond my ken I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do You are sixteen going on seventeen I'll depend on you My Favourite Things Maria 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 favourite things Cream coloured ponnies and crisp apple streudles Doorbells and slaybells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favourite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winter that melts into spring These are a few of my favourite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things And then I don't feel so bad Do Re Mi Maria Let's start at the very beginning A very good place to start When you read you begin with Gretl A B C Maria When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi Children Do re mi Maria Do Re Mi The first three notes just happen to be Do Re Mi Children Do Re Mi Maria Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Oh, let's see if I can make it easier...mmm... * 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 so Tea, a drink with jam and bread That will brink us back to Do (oh oh oh...)
