Maria Lyrics

    One Nun At A Time
    She climbs a tree
    And scrapes her knee

    Her dress has got a tear

    She waltzs 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

    All Together
    Maria's not an asset to the abbey

    One Nun
    I'd like to say a word in her behalf:
    Maria makes me laugh

    All nuns laugh

    Mother Abbess
    How do you solve a problem like maria?
    How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

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

    One nun at a time
    A flibbertajibbit?

    A will of a whisp

    a clown

    Many a thing you know you'd like 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 moon beam in your hand?

    When I'm with her
    I'm confused
    Out of focus
    And bemused
    And I never know exactly where I am

    One nun at a time
    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 can throw a twirling 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!!

    All at once
    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 flibbertajjibet
    A will of a 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 moon beam in your hand?
