Maria-Matt Cavenaugh

[00:05.49]She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee [00:08.14]Her dress has got a tear [00:10.28]She waltzes on her way to Mass [00:12.76]And whistles on the stair [00:14.88]And underneath her wimple [00:17.04]She has curlers in her hair [00:19.76]I even heard her singing in the abbey [00:24.51]She's always late for chapel [00:26.90]But her penitence is real [00:29.51]She's always late for everything [00:31.98]Except for every meal [00:34.27]I hate to have to say it [00:36.56]But I very firmly feel [00:39.22]Maria's not an asset to the abbey [00:44.16]I'd like to say a word in her behalf [00:49.01]Maria makes me laugh [00:56.08]How do you solve a problem like Maria? [01:00.18]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? [01:03.95]How do you find a word that means Maria? [01:08.15]A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown! [01:12.69]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her [01:16.32]Many a thing she ought to understand [01:20.07]But how do you make her stay [01:22.18]And listen to all you say [01:24.24]How do you keep a wave upon the sand [01:28.26]Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? [01:32.69]How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand? [01:45.08]When I'm with her I'm confused [01:46.89]Out of focus and bemused [01:48.58]And I never know exactly where I am [01:52.53]Unpredictable as weather [01:54.23]She's as flighty as a feather [01:56.10]She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb! [01:59.81]She'd outpester any pest [02:01.74]Drive a hornet from its nest [02:03.59]She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl [02:07.50]She is gentle! She is wild! [02:09.52]She's a riddle! She's a child! [02:11.38]She's a headache! She's an angel! [02:14.37]She's a girl! [02:19.08]How do you solve a problem like Maria? [02:22.92]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? [02:26.82]How do you find a word that means Maria? [02:30.73]A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown! [02:35.23]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her [02:39.06]Many a thing she ought to understand [02:43.02]But how do you make her stay [02:45.16]And listen to all you say [02:47.19]How do you keep a wave upon the sand [02:50.98]Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria? [02:58.89]How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
