Julie Andrews - Maria Lyrics
She climbs a tree and scrapes her kneeHer dress has got a tearShe waltzes on her way to massAnd whistles on the stairAnd underneath her wimple, she has curlers in her hair!I've even heard her singing in the Abbey!She's always late for chapelBut her penitence is realShe's always late for everythingExcept for every meal!I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel,Maria's not an asset to the abbey!I'd like to say a word in her behalf(Then say it Sister Margaretta)Maria makes me laugh!How do you solve a problem like MariaHow do you catch a cloud and pin it downHow do you find a word that means Maria?A flibberty-gibbetA will o' the wispA clown!Many a thing you know you'd like to tell herMany a thing she'd ought to understand!But how do you make her stayAnd 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 confusedOut of focus and bemusedAnd I never know exactly where I am!Unpredictable as weatherShe's as flighty as a featherShe's a darlingShe's a demonShe's a lambShe'd out-pester any pestDrive a hornet from his nestShe could throw a whirling dervish out of whirlShe is gentle, she is wildShe's a riddle, she's a childShe's a headache, she's an angelShe's a girl!How do you solve a problem like MariaHow do you catch a cloud and pin it downHow do you find a word that means Maria?A flibberty-gibbetA will o' the wispA clown!Many a thing you know you'd like to tell herMany a thing she'd ought to understand!But how do you make her stayAnd 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?
