Maria 歌詞

Maria - Evadne Baker/Anna Leese/Portia Nelson/Marni Nixon

Written by:Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II/Irwin Kostal/Neely Plumb

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 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

 

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 the word that means Maria

A flibbertijibbet a will o' 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 keep a 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 could 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 the word that means Maria

A flibbertijibbet a will o' 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 keep a wave upon the sand

Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria

 

 

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand
