My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses, And whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles, And warm woollen mittens, Brown paper packages, Tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things . . . Cream colored ponies, An' crisp apple strudels, Doorbells an' sleigh bells, An' 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, Snow flakes 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 feelin' sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad . . . Roses....hmmm kittens... Kettles.......mittens.... La dee da, la dee da, La dee da, da, These are a few of my favorite things . . . When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I'm feelin' sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And little by little my heavy heart sings . . . And then I don't feel so bad . . . ~ from "The Sound of Music" 1959, 1965 Music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
