Karaoké Maria La Mélodie du bonheur (comédie musicale)

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

Then say it, Sister Margaretta

Maria makes me laugh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

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 flibbertigibbet 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 aut 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 out-pester 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 riddles, she's a child

She's a headache

She's an angel she's a girl

How do you solve

How do you solve a problem like Maria? a problem like Maria?

How do you catch

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? a cloud and pin it down?

How do you find

How do you find a word that means Maria? a word that means Maria?

A flibbertigibbet a will-o'-the-wisp

A clown

Many a thing you know

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

Many a thing she ought

Many a thing she ought to understand 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

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? a problem like Maria?

How do you hold

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? a moonbeam in your hand?
