"Scales And Arpeggios" lyrics
(originally from "The Aristocats" soundtrack)
Do mi sol do do sol mi do
Every truly cultured music student knows
You must learn your scales and your arpeggios
Finger music ringing from your chest and not your nose
While you sing your scales and your arpeggios
If you're faithful to your daily practicing
You will find your progress is encouraging
Do mi sol me do mi sol me fa la sol, it goes
When you do your scales and your arpeggios
Do mi sol do do sol mi do
Do mi sol do do sol mi do
Though at first it seems as though it doesn't show
Like a tree, ability will bloom and grow
If you're smart you'll learn by heart what every artist knows
You must sing your scales and your arpeggios
Every truly cultured music student knows
You must learn your scales and your arpeggios
Finger music ringing from your chest and not your nose
While you sing your scales and your arpeggios
If you're faithful to your daily practicing
You will find your progress is encouraging
Do mi sol me do mi sol me fa la sol, it goes
When you do your scales and your arpeggios
Do mi sol do do sol mi do
Do mi sol do do sol mi do
Though at first it seems as though it doesn't show
Like a tree, ability will bloom and grow
If you're smart you'll learn by heart what every artist knows
You must sing your scales and your arpeggios
