Featuring...
Many of us grew up watching Mr. Rogers.  He was on the kids' show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood that...
Do, ré, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do
Chanson enfantine
(French)
Children's Song
(English)

Do, ré, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do
Gratt'-moi la puce que j'ai dans l' dos.
Si tu l'avais grattée plus tôt,
Elle serait pas montée si haut.

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do,
Scratch the flea I have on my back
If you'd scratched it sooner,
It wouldn't have gone up so high.

Notes

"Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do" are the names of the notes of the musical scale, corresponding to C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C.

This song is used to remember the tune of the ascending and descending musical scales as to remember the name of the notes.

Comments

A lightly different version:
Do, ré, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do
J'ai une puce dans le dos.
Si tu me l'avais dit plus tôt,
Elle serait pas montée si haut

Translation

Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do,
I have a flea in my back,
If you'd told me sooner,
It wouldn't have gone up so high.
