[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?
