[00:01.28] Sound of Music-MARIA
[00:05.36] She climbs a tree
[00:06.72] And scrapes her knee
[00:08.06] Her dress has got a tear.
[00:10.36] She waltzes on her way to mass
[00:12.77] And whistles on the stair.
[00:15.11] And underneath her wimpole
[00:17.23] She has curlers in her hair!
[00:20.04] I even herad her singing in the abbey.
[00:24.63] She's always late for chapel,
[00:26.98] But her penitence is real.
[00:29.68] She's always late for everything,
[00:32.12] Except for every meal.
[00:34.48] I hate to have to say it,
[00:36.76] But I very firmly feel
[00:39.47] Maria's not an asset to the abbey!
[00:44.39] I'd like to say a word in her behalf.
[00:49.55] Maria makes me laugh!
[00:56.35] How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[01:00.20] How do you catch a cloud and bring it down?
[01:04.43] How do you find a word that means Maria?
[01:08.45] A flibberti gibbet!
[01:09.47] A willo' the wisp!
[01:10.37] A clown!
[01:12.70] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her,
[01:16.57] Many a thing she ought to understand.
[01:20.56] But how do you make her stay
[01:22.53] And listen to all you say,
[01:24.73] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[01:28.87] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[01:33.50] How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
[01:45.72] When I'm dazed and confused,
[01:47.37] Out of focus and bemused,
[01:49.10] And I never know exactly where I am.
[01:52.99] Unpredictable as weather,
[01:54.67] She's as flighty as a feather,
[01:56.58] She's a darling,
[01:57.55] She's a demon,
[01:58.60] She's a lamb.
[02:00.70] She'd out-pester any pest,
[02:02.40] Drive a hornet from his nest,
[02:04.12] She could throw a whirling dervish Out of whirl.
[02:08.05] She is gentle,
[02:08.95] She is wild,
[02:09.98] She's a riddle.
[02:10.83] She's a child.
[02:11.92] She's a headache!
[02:13.31] She's an angel!
[02:15.49] She's a girl.
[02:19.94] How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[02:23.69] How do you catch a clown and pin it down?
[02:27.58] How do you find a word that means Maria?
[02:31.60] A flibberti gibbet!
[02:32.52] A willo' the wisp!
[02:33.65] A clown!
[02:35.74] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her,
[02:39.82] Many a thing she ought to understand.
[02:44.30] But how do you make her say,
[02:45.87] And listen to all you say?
[02:48.04] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[02:51.69] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[03:00.44] How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
