Lyrics

Rain drops on ros es and whis kers on kit tens, Bright cop per ket tles and warm wool en mit tens, Brown pa per pack ag es tied up with strings, These are a few of my fa vor ite things.

Cream col ored po nies and crisp ap ple strud els, Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitz el with noo dles, Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of my fa vor ite things.

Girls in white dress es with blue sa tin sash es, Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eye lash es, Sil ver white win ters that melt in to springs.

These are a few of my fa vor ite things.

When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feel ing sad,

I sim ply re mem ber my fa vor ite things and then I don’t feel

so bad.
