Dough, Ray, Me

(DoReMi from Sound of Music)

Dough, my dear, is scarce this year
Rays of light are hard to see
Me, my hopes are dim I fear
Far from where I want to be.
So, we’ll have to muddle through
Lots of work is left to do
Teaming up we’ll win the day
We won’t doze our dreams away-ay-ay-ay.

(The following verse can be sung from the top down, or not:)

Dopes are in the saddle now
Tea is Palin’s favorite drink
LaLa Land’s in Washington
So we don’t know what to think!
Fa-ther didn’t ever tell
Me that life’s a carousel
Ra-ving madly as it goes
Congress is a nest of dodo-dodos . . .

Dough, my dear, is scarce this year
Rays of light are hard to see
Me, my hopes are dim I fear
Far from where I want to be.
So we’ll have to muddle through
Lots of work is left to do
Teaming up we’ll win the day
Tho’ our dough has gone astray-ay-ay-ay!
