Every truly cultured music student knows
You must learn your scales and your arpeggios
Bring the 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 so mi do me so mi fa la so it goes
While you sing your scales and your arpeggios
Mi mi fa so so fa mi re
do do re mi mi re re
Mi mi fa so so fa mi re
do do re mi re do do
Though it seems at first 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
If you're smart you'll learn by heart
what every artist knows
You must sing your scales and your arpeggios
You must learn your scales and your arpeggios
Bring the 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 so mi do me so mi fa la so it goes
While you sing your scales and your arpeggios
Mi mi fa so so fa mi re
do do re mi mi re re
Mi mi fa so so fa mi re
do do re mi re do do
Though it seems at first 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
If you're smart you'll learn by heart
what every artist knows
You must sing your scales and your arpeggios

Ready! Set! Go!!!
(:15)
It all begins on Christmas Eve, a little girl wants to believe.
Everyone is here, all full of Christmas cheer.
The uncle gives the girl a gift; it's odd, but quite sincere.
Everyone hurries off to bed. The little girl creeps down instead.
Then as you can see, as clear as it can be, a prince is dancing underneath the tree.
(:42)
When the clock strikes twelve the little mice come alive, prince and girl don't know what to do.
So a battle rages back and forth, 'til the girl finally hits them with her shoe.
Now the handsome prince and little girl travel off, landing where fairies dance all day.
Not to worry! This can happen only in a ballet!
(1:12)
If you think this isn't weird enough, all the candy canes start frolicking.
The chocolate dances, the ginger prances, and any tot in tutu has to have a chance!
There's a pretty fairy sugar plum, she's what everybody's waiting for.
So light and so quick, shaped like a toothpick, she's the one we adore.
(1:42)
Just when you think it's over at last--
No! (oh, no) oh, no! (oh, please)
In come a new group of dancers, Chinese.
No (oh, no!) Oh, yes! (good grief!)
Chinese (of course), Russians (there's more?) Spanish (ole!) flowers! (what for?)
What does this have to do with nutcrackers?
This story line is NUTS!
(2:12)
Just when you think you've had enough, with sugarplums and other stuff,
the soldier and girl do a pas de deaux.
'Round and around the stage they twirl, one cavalier and little girl,
though you're confused the corps knows what to do.
Ballerinas beaming, could we all be dreaming?
Taffy clowns and waltzing flowers?
Candy canes and clover, when will this be over? Can't she just go back to bed?!
Instead, oh dread, just look ahead- the Christmas tree is getting HUGE!
(2:48)
Run for your life, this crazy show still has a lot of acts to go!
Those Russian dancers have a lot of kick!
If you are one who likes applause, and not a sign of Santa Claus,
before you snooze, you cannot lose, just grab your favorite ballet shoes
and go see a three-minute version of "The Nutcracker." THAT'S IT!

Peace, peace, peace on earth and goodwill to all.
This is a time for joy, this is a time for love.
Now let us all sing together of peace, peace, peace on earth.
