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 thingsCream 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 thingsGirls 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 thingsWhen 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 badRoses, hmm, kittens, kettles, mittens
La dee da, la dee da
La dee da, da
These are a few of my favorite thingsWhen 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
