Frau: Now children lets sing a song
Pansi: But we can't sing
Hansi: We've never learnt how

Frau: Oh well I'll teach you to sing!
Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with
Mitzi : ABC
Frau : When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi
The first 3 notes just happen to be
ALL: DO RE MI
Frau: Do re mi far so la ti, oh lets see if I can make it easier

ALL: Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Fritzi: Nein nein nein Frau Schnitzel

Frau What's the matter little Fritzi?

Fritzi: Zat's just it we're not little anymore, we'f been zinging this
zong for the last 40 years. We're all old now,
and so we've written new words.

Mitzi: Und who vud like to hear zis new song?

ALL: Grow a beard a female beard
Grey the colour of our hair
Wee need Pampers or Depends
Flatulence is in the air
(or Far • ting ev'ry blooming where)
So so is our state of mind
La! Our specs we cannot find
Teeth are now upon the shelf
That will bring us back to grow oh oh oh
