Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite 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 favourite things!
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don’t feel so bad!
