| [00:05.05] |
She climbs a tree, and scrapes her knee |
| [00:07.50] |
Her dress has got a tear |
| [00:09.80] |
She waltzes on her way to mass |
| [00:12.36] |
And whistles on the stair |
| [00:14.61] |
And underneath her wimple |
| [00:16.62] |
She has curlers in her hair |
| [00:19.32] |
I've even heard her singing in the abbey |
| [00:24.13] |
She's always late for chapel |
| [00:26.52] |
But her penitence is real |
| [00:28.91] |
She's always late for everything |
| [00:31.65] |
Except for every meal |
| [00:33.95] |
I hate to have to say it |
| [00:36.26] |
But I very firmly feel |
| [00:38.85] |
Maria's not an asset to the abbey |
| [00:43.72] |
I'd like to say a word in her behalf: |
| [00:48.86] |
Maria makes me laugh |
| [00:55.66] |
How do you solve a problem like Maria? |
| [00:59.69] |
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? |
| [01:03.68] |
How do you find a word that means Maria? |
| [01:07.34] |
A flibbertigibbet? |
| [01:08.45] |
A will-o'-the-wisp? |
| [01:09.43] |
A clown |
| [01:11.92] |
Many a-thing you know you'd like tell her |
| [01:15.98] |
Many a-thing she ought to understand |
| [01:19.72] |
But how do you make her stay |
| [01:21.76] |
And listen to all you say? |
| [01:24.07] |
How do you keep a wave upon the sand? |
| [01:27.64] |
Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria? |
| [01:32.32] |
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? |
| [01:44.37] |
When I'm with her I'm confused |
| [01:46.50] |
Out of focus and bemused |
| [01:48.29] |
And I never know exactly where I am |
| [01:52.14] |
Unpredictable as weather |
| [01:53.88] |
She's as flighty as a feather |
| [01:55.70] |
She's a darling |
| [01:56.77] |
She's a demon |
| [01:57.65] |
She's a lamb |
| [01:59.49] |
She'd out pester any pest |
| [02:01.39] |
Drive a hornet from its nest |
| [02:03.28] |
She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl |
| [02:07.34] |
She is gentle, she is wild |
| [02:09.03] |
She's a riddle, she's a child |
| [02:10.96] |
She's a headache |
| [02:12.07] |
She's an angel |
| [02:13.94] |
She's a girl |
| [02:18.54] |
How do you solve a problem like Maria? |
| [02:22.61] |
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? |
| [02:26.54] |
How do you find a word that means Maria? |
| [02:30.47] |
A flibbertigibbet? |
| [02:31.54] |
A will-o'-the-wisp? |
| [02:32.56] |
A clown |
| [02:34.71] |
Many a-thing you know you'd like to tell her |
| [02:38.72] |
Many a-thing she ought to understand |
| [02:42.57] |
But how do you make her stay |
| [02:44.56] |
And listen to all you say? |
| [02:46.91] |
How do you keep a wave upon the sand? |
| [02:51.06] |
Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria? |
| [02:58.50] |
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? |
