Scales and Arpeggios From "The Aristocats" Composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman Doe me so doe doe so me doe Every truly cultured music student knows You must learn your scales and your arpeggios And 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 Doe me so me doe me so me fa la so it goes When you do your scales and your arpeggios Doe me so doe-- Doe me so doe doe so me doe Doe me so doe doe so me doe 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 arpe-e-e-gios!
