Maria 歌詞

Maria - Original Broadway Cast Recording

She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee

Her dress has got a tear

She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the stair

And underneath her wimple she has curlers in her hair

I've even heard her singing in the abbey

She's always late for chapel

But her penitence is real

She's always late for everything

Except 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 Margareth

 

Maria

Makes me

 

Laugh

 

How do you solve a problem like Maria

 

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down

 

How do you find the word that means Maria

 

A flibbertijibbet

A will of the wisp

A clown

 

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

 

Many a thing she ought to understand

But how do you make her stay

And listen to all you say

How would 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 confused

Out of focus and bemused

And I never know exactly where I am

Unpredictable as weather she's as flighty as a feather

She's a darling

She's a demon

She's a lamb

She'll out pester any pest

Drive a hornet from his nest

She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl

 

She is gentle

She is wild

She's a riddle

She's a child

She's a headache

She's an angel

She's a girl

 

How do you solve a problem like Maria

 

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down

 

How do you find the word that means Maria

 

A flibbertijibbet

A will of the wisp

A clown

 

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

 

Many a thing she ought to understand

But how do you make her stay

And 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
