Do mi so do  do so mi do
Every truly cultured music student knows

You must learn your scales and your arpeggios

Bring the music ringing from your chest and not your nose
While you sing your scales and your arpeggios

If you're faithful to your daily practicing
You will find your progress is encouraging
Do mi so mi  do mi so mi  fa la so it goes
When you do your scales and your arpeggios

Do mi so do

Do mi so do  do so mi do  do mi so do  do so mi do
Though at first it seems as though it doesn't show
Like a tree ability will bloom and grow
If you're smart you'll learn by heart what every artist knows

You must sing your scales and your arpeggios
