sound of music - maria (the nuns) lyrics
she climbs a tree and scr-pes her knee
her dress has got a tear
she waltzes on her way to m-ss
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 -sset 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 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 outpester any pest
drive a h-rnet from its 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 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?
