♫How do you solve a problem like Maria?

thanks. NOT. now i'm gonna have the whole soundtrack in my head.

How do you [something-someth] and pin it down?

How do you find a word that means Maria?

A flibbertigibbit? a will-o-the-wisp?

A clown?

Many a thing you know you ought 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 catch a wave upon the sand?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?

[4-part harmony]: How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

[Then the recitative:]

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'll outpester any pest

Drive a hornet from its nest

She will throw a Whirling Dervish out of whirl

She is witty, She is wise

She's a riddle, she's a child...

She's a headache!

She's an angel...

She's....a girl......

Thank you, everyone....no no , really...it was nothing...

Please...no more applause, you're embarassing me....

Glad to do it, for my fellow Y!A-ers.

Why, yes, now that you ask, that *was* completely from memory. Yes, my sisters and I do have the entire score memorized, as well as much of the dialogue...

Well, now that you ask, yes I suppose it could be considered somewhat annoying.....

Maria Who? Sharapova?

What, dude? Maria, I just met a girl named Maria, from the musical, Westside Story? That kind of Maria are you talking about?

Maria doesn't solve problems - she only keeps singing!

A glass of wine and a good roll in the sack.

MARIA MARIA FROM THE SONG!!! PLAY LIKE CARLOS SANTANA

Maria makes me...... laugh.

Sit back and enjoy the view!

How do you hold a moon beam in your hand?

You can climb every mountain
