"Solfeggio" Lyrics

Someone wrote me over at my erniekovacs.info website, looking to find the lyrics to "Solfeggio" (a/k/a "Song of the Nairobi Trio"). In case anyone else has been wondering, here's what I wrote back:

They're not too complicated, especially if you know "Doe, a Deer" from the Sound of Music. "Solfeggio" is a musical notation system where each of the eight pitches on the major scale is given a name: do re me fa sol la ti do.

The "lyrics" to the song are nothing more than the names of the notes of the melody:

"Solfeggio" lyrics:

Mi sol la
Re fa-re sol
Do me-do fa re
Sol sol (bongo roll...)

Mi sol la
Re fa-re sol
Do me-do fa re
Sol sol do (wham!)

Do mi fa
Si re-se mi
La do-la fa re
Sol sol (bongo roll...)

Do mi-do fa
Si re-se mi
La do-la fa re
Sol sol do (wham!)

Thanks for writing!
