The 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 heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lakes 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 heard before
My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And 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 stairs
And underneath her wimple,
She has curlers in her hair!
I've even heard her singing in the abbey!
She's always late for chapel
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'd like to say a word in her behalf.
Say it, Sister Margaretta.
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 willo-the-wisp, a clown!
Many a thing you know you'd 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 make the wave upon the sand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
When I'm with her, I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb!
She'd out-pester any pest, drive a hornet from it's 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 an angel!
She's a girl!
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 willo-the-wisp, a clown!
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

And listen to all you say?

I Have Confidence
What will this day be like?
I wonder.
What will my future be?
I wonder.
It could be so exciting,
To be out in the world, to be free!
My heart should be wildly rejoicing...
Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here, I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared?
A captain with seven children...
What's so fearsome about that?
Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't, I just know I'll turn back!
I must dream of the thing I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack.
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show 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 am more certain
Everything will turn out fine.
I have confidence the world could 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 full of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up, wake up! It's healthy!
All I trust I give 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
You wait little girl, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life, little girl, is an empty page
That men will want to write on
To write on...
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 roues 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 am seventeen going on eighteen
I'll take care of you!
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 seventeen going on eighteen
I'll depend on you

My Favorite Things
Raindrops on roses, 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!
Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes
Snowflakes 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 bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad!

Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with?
ABC
When you sing you begin with

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 it 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
And that will bring us back to Do
Oh, oh, oh
Do! A deer, a female deer
Re! A drop of golden sun
Mi! A name I call myself

So Long, Farewell
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 cuckoo.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
Regretfully they tell us, (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
But firmly they compel us (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
To say goodbye to you (Cuckoo! Cuckoo!)
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good bye
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, Adieu, to you and you and you
So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good night
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye! (Good bye!)
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float, I fleety flee, I fly!
The sun has gone to bed and so must I.
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, good bye
Good bye, good bye, good bye
Good bye

Something Good
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somwhere 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
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
Something good

How do you make the wave upon the sand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

Sixteen Going on Seventeen (Reprise)
A bell is no bell till you ring it
A song is no song till you sing it
And love in your heart wasn't put there to stay
Love isn't love till you give it away
When you're sixteen going on seventeen
Waiting for life to start
Somebody kind who touches your mind
Will suddenly touch your heart
When that happens, after it happens
Nothing is quite the same
Somehow I know I'll jump up and go
If ever he calls my name
Gone are your old ideas of life
The old ideas grow dim
Lo, and behold, you're someone's wife
And you belong to him
You may think this kind of adventure
Never may come to you
Darling, sixteen, going on seventeen
Wait a year
I'll wait a year (or two)
Just wait a year or two
