Maria

[00:04.52] She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
[00:07.26] Her dress has got a tear
[00:09.55] She waltzes on her way to mass
[00:12.10] And whistles on the stair
[00:14.38] And underneath her wimple she has curlers in her hair
[00:19.19] I even heard her singing in the abbey
[00:23.97] She's always late for chapel but her penitence is real
[00:28.81] She's always late for everything except for every meal
[00:33.78] I hate to have to say it but I very firmly feel
[00:38.66] Maria's not an asset to the abbey
[00:43.61] I'd like to say a word in her behalf
[00:48.10] Maria makes me laugh
[00:55.50] How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[00:59.60] How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[01:03.49] How do you find a word that means Maria?
[01:07.51] A flibbertijibbet, a will o-the wisp, a clown
[01:11.78] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
[01:15.87] Many a thing she ought to understand
[01:19.76] But how do you make her stay
[01:21.84] And listen to all you say?
[01:23.98] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[01:27.99] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[01:32.25] How do you hold our moonbeam in your hand?
[01:45.00] When I'm with her I'm confused
[01:46.77] out of focus and bermused
[01:48.61] And I never know exactly where I am
[01:52.32] Unpredictable as wheather
[01:54.16] She's as flighty as a feather
[01:56.02] She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb
[01:59.58] She'd outpester any pest
[02:01.75] Drive a hornet from its nest
[02:03.64] She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
[02:07.38] She is gentle, she is wild
[02:09.50] She's a riddle, she's a child
[02:11.42] She's a headache, she's and angel
[02:14.17] She's a girl
[02:18.92] How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[02:22.95] How do you hold our moonbeam in your hand?
[02:26.90] How do you find a word that means Maria?
[02:30.92] A flibbertijibbet, a will o-the wisp, a clown
[02:35.10] Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
[02:39.10] Many a thing she ought to understand
[02:43.08] But how do you make her stay
[02:45.04] And listen to all you say?
[02:47.34] How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[02:51.46] Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[02:58.80] How do you hold our moonbeam in your hand?
