《Maria》歌词

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She climbs a tree

[00:03:18] And scrapes her knee

[00:03:18] Her dress has got a tear.

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] She waltzes on her way to mass

[00:03:18] And whistles on the stair.

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] And underneath her wimpole

[00:03:18] She has curlers in her hair!

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] I ever hear her singing in the abbey.

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She's always late for chapel,

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] But her penitence is real.

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She's always late for everything,

[00:03:18] Except for every meal.

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] I hate to have to say it

[00:03:18] But I very firmly feel

[00:03:18] BERTHE AND SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] Maria's not an asset to the abbey!

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] I'd like to say a word in her behalf.

[00:03:18] Maria makes me laugh!

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] How do you solve a problem like Maria?

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] How do you find a word that means Maria?

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] A flibberti gibbet!

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] A willo' the wisp!

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] A clown!

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her,

[00:03:18] Many a thing she ought to understand.

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] But how do you make her stay

[00:03:18] And listen to all you say,

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] When I'm with her I'm confused,

[00:03:18] Out of focus and bemused,

[00:03:18] And I never know exactly where I am.

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] Unpredictable as weather,

[00:03:18] She's as flighty as a feather,

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] She's a darling,

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She's a demon,

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] She's a lamb.

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] She'd out-pester any pest,

[00:03:18] Drive a hornet from his nest,

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She can throw a whirling dervish

[00:03:18] Out of whirl.

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] She is gentle,

[00:03:18] She is wild,

[00:03:18] SOPHIA:

[00:03:18] She's a riddle.

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] She's a child.

[00:03:18] BERTHE:

[00:03:18] She's a headache!

[00:03:18] MARGARETTA:

[00:03:18] She's an angel!

[00:03:18] MOTHER ABBESS:

[00:03:18] She's a girl.

[00:03:18] ALL NUNS:

[00:03:18] How do you solve a problem like Maria?

[00:03:18] How do you catch a clown and pin it down?

[00:03:18] How do you find a word that means Maria?

[00:03:18] A flibberti gibbet!

[00:03:18] A willo' the wisp!

[00:03:18] A clown!

[00:03:18] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her,

[00:03:18] Many a thing she ought to understand.

[00:03:18] But how do you make her say,

[00:03:18] And listen to all you say?

[00:03:18] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

[00:03:18] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

[00:03:18] How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand
