Maria 歌詞

Maria - Elizabeth Howell/Karen Shepard/Muriel O'Malley/Patricia Neway

Written by:Richard Rodgers/Oscar Hammerstein II

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 a word that means maria

 

A flibbertigibbet 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'll out pester any pest

Drive a hornet from his 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 a word that means maria

 

A flibbertigibbet 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
