    In the musical The Sound of Music, these are the pronunciations used. “Doe: a deer, a female deer… Far: a long, long way to run, Sew: a needle pulling thread… Tea: a drink with jam and bread…” etc. I think the song is called Do-Re-Mi and Julie Andrews’ accent makes them make sense.

      Yeah, I explained it in my other comment, but it’s a pronunciation thing. I’m not a native english speaker and I pronounce “saw” differently. I also do not know the lyrics of the song past “re”.
