audra mcdonald, jessica molaskey, elena shaddow & christiane noll – maria lyrics
[berthe]
she climbs a tree
and scr+pes her knee
her dress has got a tear
[sophia]
she waltzes on her way to mass
and whistles on the stair
[berthe]
and underneath her wimple
she has curlers in her hair
[sophia]
i’ve even heard her singing in the abbey
[berthe]
she’s always late for chapel
[sophia]
but her penitence is real
[berthe]
she’s always late for everything
except for every meal
i hate to havе to say it
but i very firmly feel
[berthe & sophia]
maria’s not an asset to the abbеy
[margaretta]
i’d like to say a word in her behalf
[mother abbess, spoken]
then say it, sister margaretta
[margaretta]
maria makes me laugh
[sophia]
how do you solve a problem like maria?
[mother abbess]
how do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[margaretta]
how do you find a word that means maria?
[berthe]
a flibbertigibbet?
[sophia]
a will+o’+the+wisp?
[margaretta]
a clown?
[mother abbess]
many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
many a thing she ought to understand
[margaretta]
but how do you make her stay
and listen to all you say?
[mother abbess]
how do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[margaretta]
oh, how do you solve a problem like maria?
[mother abbess]
how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
[margaretta]
when i’m with her i’m confused
out of focus and bemused
and i never know exactly where i am
[berthe]
unpredictable as weather
she’s as flighty as a feather
[margaretta]
she’s a darling
[berthe]
she’s a demon
[margaretta]
she’s a lamb
[sophia]
she’ll out+pester any pest
drive a h+rnet from his nest
[berthe]
she can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
[margaretta]
she is gentle, she is wild
[sophia]
she’s a riddle, she’s a child
[berthe]
she’s a headache
[margaretta]
she’s an angel
[mother abbess]
she’s a girl
[mother abbess, berthe, margaretta & sophia]
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?
[margaretta]
a flibbertigibbet?
[sophia]
a will+o’+the+wisp?
[berthe]
a clown?
[mother abbess, berthe, margaretta & sophia]
many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
many a thing she ought to understand
[mother abbess]
but how do you make her stay
[sophia]
and listen to all you say?
[margaretta]
how do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[mother abbess, berthe, margaretta & sophia]
oh, how do you solve a problem like maria?
how do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
