by Rodgers & Hammerstein

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

girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
silver white winters that melt into spring
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

cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudel
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 spring
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
so bad
so bad
