Lyrics for My Favorite Things
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then And then I don't feel And I don't feel And then I don't feel I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel Simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel And then And then Then I don't feel Simply remember my favorite things And then And I don't feel And then Then I don't, I don't feel I don't feel so bad!
