When You Know the Notes to Sing
(1)
Maria Franziska von Trapp
Had travels all over the map
With her family troupe,
An echt Austrian group
With ländler and yodels on tap.
(2)
If her family’s escape from the War
Is undying in show business lore,
The credit belongs
To the lyrics and songs
In Rodgers and Hammerstein’s score.
