My Favorite Things (1966 Village Vanguard)

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 and

Crisp apple strudels

Door bells and sleigh bells

And 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

Snowflakes 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 feeling sad

I simply remember

My favorite things

And then I don't feel so bad.
