Maria (the Nuns) Lyrics - Singles - The Sound Of Music

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 the 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 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 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 the word that means Maria? 

A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
