The Ashleys Sing How Do You Solve a Problem Like Spinelli

The Ashleys were standing in front of their clubhouse.

Ashley A: Hey, Ashleys!

Ashley B: What is it, Ashley A?

Ashley A: We're going to sing about Spinelli by parodying the song from The Sound of Music called How Do You Solve a Problem With Maria, it's called How Do You Solve a Problem Like Spinelli!

Ashley B: That's a good idea! Let's do it!

Ashley Q: Yeah, this song is so cool! It's our favourite song from The Sound of Music!

Ashley T: Yeah, let's do it!

Ashley A: She climbs a tree, and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear.

Ashley B: She fights on her way to mass, and whistles on the stair.

Ashley A: And underneath her wimple, she has pigtails on her hair!

Ashley B: I even heard her singing in the playground

Ashley A: ''She's never late for class. ''

Ashley Q: But her grumpiness is real.

Ashley A: She's never late for everything, nor for every meal either.

Ashley T: I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel

Ashley A and Ashley B: Spinelli's not an asset to our clubhouse!

Ashley Q: ''I'd like to say a word in her behalf. Spinelli makes us laugh!''

The Ashleys started laughing.

Ashleys: Hahahahahahahaha! Ooh, scandalous!

Ashley B: How do you solve a problem like Spinelli?

Ashley T: How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

Ashley Q: How do you find a word that means Spinelli?

Ashley A: A flibbertigibbet!

Ashley B: A will-o'-the-wisp!

Ashley Q: A clown!

Ashley T: ''Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her. Many a thing she ought to understand.''

Ashley Q:'' But how do you make her stay. And listen to all you say.''

Ashley T: How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

Ashley Q: Oh, how do you solve a problem like Spinelli?

Ashley T: How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

Ashley Q: When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused, and I never know exactly where I am.

Ashley B: ''Unpredictable as weather. She's as flighty as a feather.''

Ashley Q: She's a clever girl.

Ashley A: She's a demon.

Ashley Q: She's a lamb.

Ashley B: ''She'd out-pester any pest. Drive a hornet from its nest.''

Ashley A: She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl.

Ashley Q:'' She is feisty. She is wild.''

Ashley B: ''She's a riddle. ''

Ashley Q:'' She's a tomoboy. ''

Ashley A: She's a headache!

Ashley Q: She's an angel!

Ashley T: ''She's a tomboy. ''

Ashleys: ''How do you solve a problem like Spinelli? How do you catch a cloud and pin it down? How do you find a word that means Spinelli? A flibbertigibbet? A will-o'-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 stay. And listen to all you say? How do you keep a wave upon the sand? Oh, how do you solve a problem like Spinelli? How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?''

Ashley A: Wow! That song's awesome!

Ashleys: Ooh, scandalous!
