[00:00.185]She climbs a tree, and scrapes her knee
[00:03.198]Her dress has got a tear
[00:05.436]She waltzes on her way to mass
[00:07.947]And whistles on the stair
[00:10.186]And underneath her wimple
[00:12.448]She has curlers in her hair
[00:14.946]I've even heard her singing in the abbey
[00:19.436]She's always late for chapel
[00:21.935]But her penitence is real
[00:24.689]She's always late for everything
[00:26.948]Except for every meal
[00:29.439]I hate to have to say it
[00:31.938]But I very firmly feel
[00:34.189]Maria's not an asset to the abbey
[00:38.937]I'd like to say a word in her behalf:
[00:42.684]Maria makes me laugh
[00:50.441]How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[00:55.187]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[00:59.442]How do you find a word that means Maria?
[01:03.438]A flibbertigibbet?
[01:04.194]A will-o'-the-wisp?
[01:05.698]A clown
[01:07.938]Many a-thing you know you'd like tell her
[01:11.683]Many a-thing she ought to understand
[01:15.699]But how do you make her stay
[01:17.684]And listen to all you say?
[01:20.183]How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[01:23.684]Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[01:27.946]How do you hold a moonbeam
[01:33.935]In your hand?
[01:40.442]When I'm with her I'm confused
[01:42.445]Out of focus and bemused
[01:44.187]And I never know exactly where I am
[01:47.694]Unpredictable as weather
[01:49.947]She's as flighty as a feather
[01:51.445]She's a darling
[01:52.694]She's a demon
[01:53.948]She's a lamb
[01:55.697]She'd out pester any pest
[01:57.448]Drive a hornet from its nest
[01:59.438]She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
[02:03.127]She is gentle, she is wild
[02:05.134]She's a riddle, she's a child
[02:07.134]She's a headache
[02:08.083]She's an angel
[02:09.824]She's a girl
[02:14.328]How do you solve a problem like Maria?
[02:18.831]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
[02:22.582]How do you find a word that means Maria?
[02:26.821]A flibbertigibbet?
[02:27.322]A will-o'-the-wisp?
[02:28.820]A clown
[02:31.079]Many a-thing you know you'd like to tell her
[02:34.827]Many a-thing she ought to understand
[02:38.569]But how do you make her stay
[02:40.820]And listen to all you say?
[02:43.328]How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
[02:46.833]Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria?
[02:53.829]How do you hold a moonbeam
[03:02.823]In your hand?
