Maria

歌詞

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 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 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 a word that means maria a flibbertijibbet a will-o'-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 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'd outpester any pest drive a hornet from its 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 a word that means maria a flibbertijibbet a will-o'-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
