How do you solve a problem like Maria?
 How do you catch a clown and pin it down?
 How do you find a word that means Maria?
 A flibberti gibbet!
 A willo' 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 say,
 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
